Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Yen Nguyen #22054 Race: 2025 Portland 10K MindRX Group Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Splits Show Improvement Potential Yen Nguyen completed the 2025 Portland Marathon's 10K MindRX Group with an overall time of 1:55:12, averaging a pace of 18:34 min/mile. Notably, Yen delivered a consistent start and finish with both the fourth and fifth mile splits matching at 17:17 min/mile, showcasing an ability to maintain pace over the middle section. The final split was a bit slower at 19:01 min/mile, indicating that endurance might be an area to work on in future training sessions. Comparing to her previous half marathon performances, this 10K result indicates a steady pace, though pacing strategies from the longer races may not have carried over, as earlier splits in the half marathons were generally faster. Consider focusing on endurance training and consistent pacing in workouts, as Yen's potential to improve is evident from the more consistent early splits in this race and faster paces in previous half marathons. Keep building on this solid foundation!
