Consistent Performance in Pearland Half Rachel Zartman, competing in the 2025 Pearland Half Marathon, maintained commendable consistency with an overall elapsed time of 1:35:22 and an average pace of 7:16 min/mile. Notably, her pacing was remarkably steady throughout the 13.1 miles, with four of her splits precisely matching the overall pace. The notable highlight is her 8th mile, clocking in at 6:57 min/mile, signaling an impressive surge mid-race. Her strategic approach resulted in a strong finish, securing 3rd in both overall female and F Overall divisions out of 260 participants. Despite a slight reduction in pace in the last mile, Rachel demonstrated durability, never falling below a 7:33 min/mile pace. As a coach, I recommend focusing on maintaining the momentum established in the second half. Extending sprint and tempo training could further sharpen her performance in future events. Well done, Rachel!
