Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Jennica Galindo #10921 Race: 2025 Portland Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Start, Steady Finish Jennica began her marathon strongly, with her initial split of 8:18 min/mile putting her in a great position, ranking 59th among females and 18th in her division. She maintained an impressive mid-race pace, consistently staying below 9:00 min/mile and proving her stamina by holding a steady pace between miles 4 and 7, successfully reclaiming positions she had dropped earlier. Her split times from mile 1 to mile 10 kept her in the top third of her division and were marked by remarkable consistency. Toward the end, the pace decelerated slightly to a final race pace of 9:23 min/mile, with Jennica finishing 60th in her division. By increasing distance stamina, particularly from miles 18 onwards where her pace shifted over 10:00 min/mile, efficiency could be improved. Kudos to Jennica for demonstrating determination and maintaining her momentum, solidifying her position as a dedicated runner within the G Circle Run Club.
