Consistent Pacing with Notable Division Improvements Shirley Dionisio from Conroe, TX participated in the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K, completing the 10K with a total time of 1:26:30 and an average pace of 13:57 min/mile. Over the course of the race, Shirley maintained a fairly consistent pacing, especially through the first three miles improving from a 13:38 min/mile pace in the second mile to 13:20 in the third. Her strategic pacing resulted in an improvement in division ranking midway through the race, noted by her reduced division placement from 112 to 102 by mile four. In the second half of the race, her pace slightly decreased, with the fifth and sixth miles clocking in at 14:31 and 14:58 min/mile, respectively, pushing her final placement to 108th in her division F35-39. While this slight deceleration existed, Shirley demonstrated good consistency and a commendable ability to make positional improvements mid-race, which is a positive takeaway for future races with the Md Anderson Runners. Exploring advanced pacing strategies could further benefit her competitive edge.
