Steady Performance with Late Boost Kim Gomez Rosas completed the 2025 Portland Marathon's Half Marathon with an official time of 2:53:28, maintaining an average pace of 13:14 min/mile throughout the 13.1-mile distance. Starting strong, her initial mile was clocked at 12:46. However, there was a slight decline in pace with a few splits over 13 minutes per mile, marking a consistent middle portion of the race. An impressive comeback was noted at mile 8, where her split time was 12:13—her fastest pace. Analyzing her positioning, Kim fluctuated slightly but stayed mostly within the top half for her division, F30-34, with her best placement being 362nd during the first mile. Despite a consistent overall effort, focusing on maintaining a steady pace in the later miles might lead to even better results and improved overall placements in future races. Her strength in the latter part is promising, suggesting potential to build from.
