Consistent Effort with Strong Mid-Race Splits Thi Luong maintained a steady pace throughout the 2025 Portland Marathon 10K. Despite a slight increase in elapsed pace from the previous year, her performance remained consistent, finishing with an overall time of 1:55:12. Notably, she demonstrated resilience, matching her 4th and 5th mile split times at 17:35 min/mile, showcasing a remarkable mid-race acceleration that improved her placement during these splits. Constructive feedback for Thi is to focus on minimizing the pace increase observed early on, as seen between the second and third mile splits. This adjustment could potentially result in improved overall time. Continuing to hone her pacing strategy will bolster her efficiency and race experience. Keep up the good work, especially with those consistent mid-race splits!
