Date: Feb. 1, 2026 Participant: Jose Lopez #12179 Race: 2026 Surf City Half Marathon Wheelchair Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pacing with Strong Finish During the 2026 Surf City Half Marathon, Jose Lopez maintained a steady performance throughout the race. Starting with a pace of 7:12 min/mile in the first mile, he gradually adjusted to an overall pace of 8:19 min/mile. This showcases disciplined pacing, especially as his pace gradually slowed from the 7th mile onward, demonstrating a controlled strategy over the 13.1-mile distance. Jose's position shifted slightly but impressively; he maintained the 3rd place overall in his division from the 5th to the 12th mile. Notably, he secured 2nd place in the final mile. A focused effort on maintaining pace in miles 8 to 13 might eliminate the slowing trend observed. Nevertheless, finishing with an 'Elapsed Time' of 1:49:05 and placing highly among 12,366 participants highlights a commendable achievement and demonstrates his racing acumen. Great job, Jose!
