Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Truc Nguyen #16925 Race: 2025 Portland Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Effort with Gradual Slowdown Truc Nguyen completed the 2025 Portland Marathon's Half Marathon with a total time of 3:06:47. Her performance started strong with a pace of 12:08 min/mile in the first mile, gradually increasing to 14:15 min/mile over the course of the race. Noteworthy was her consistent effort, covering a total distance of 13.1 miles. Placing 68th in the F55-59 division, she showed determination throughout the run. A key point to consider for future races could be the fluctuation in splits, particularly between miles 5 and 7, where her pace slowed down significantly. An adjustment in this area may help in pacing strategy. Given her previous efforts in 2022 and 2023 with faster finish times, revisiting past strategies that worked well might be beneficial. Continue to focus on even pacing and maintaining consistency across the miles to optimize overall race performance.
