Consistent Endurance and a Strong Finish Jose Rodriguez demonstrated remarkable consistency throughout the 2025 Portland Marathon half marathon race, maintaining a relatively stable pace over the 13.1-mile course. His overall time was 2:13:03, with an average pace of 10:09 min/mile, showing a strong performance across the board. An interesting observation is how his pace improved significantly in the final miles, finishing with a split of 7:37 min/mile in mile 13, which stands out as the most impressive among his splits. While starting with a steady pace, the race data indicates a fluctuation around the mid-way point, where the fifth mile presented a slower split time of 13:52 min/mile. However, Jose successfully regained momentum and improved his position significantly by the final mile. His final placement was 202nd in the M40-44 division. Working on maintaining consistent splits throughout will further enhance his future race performances. Nonetheless, finishing strong indicates a well-managed race. Well done, Jose!
