Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Jessica Tunchez #3762 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Effort with Incremental Slow Down Jessica Tunchez from Missouri City, TX completed the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon with a final time of 2:33:08, achieving an average pace of 11:41 minutes per mile. Notably, her first mile was her fastest at 9:54, with an incremental slow down being evidenced in subsequent miles. Her overall place was 3077th out of 4907 participants, 1136th among females, and 230th in the F25-29 age division. Jessicas performance reflected a trend of gradually increasing split times after the first mile. By the 8th mile, her timing increased to a 12:02 split pace, and she maintained this approximate pace for the remainder of the half marathon. For future races, a focus on sustaining early race momentum could potentially improve overall pacing consistency, helping to maintain the initial pace into later splits. Great effort overall and a solid benchmark upon which to build.
