Consistent Effort with Incremental Improvements Ludmila Andruha participated in the 2025 Portland Marathon's 10K MindRX Group event, representing Twist Bioscience. She completed the race with a final time of 1:33:42, maintaining an overall consistent pace of 15:06 min/mile over the 6.2-mile distance. Her performance showed promising steady pacing throughout most of the race, with slight variations in her split times, contributing to a solid overall performance. The first two miles showed uniform pacing with consistent splits of 13:48 min/mile, demonstrating control and maintenance of form. There was a noticeable shift in the third mile with a slower pace of 18:27 min/mile. However, recovery in pacing was evident, finishing the later splits with improved times, especially with a commendable final mile of 14:29 min/mile. Continuing to work on managing pacing consistency in future races would be beneficial, particularly in sustaining momentum during the middle sections of the race.
