Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Dominique Baeta #14157 Race: 2025 Portland Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Splits and Strong Finish Dominique Baeta demonstrated impressive consistency in the 2025 Portland Marathon Half Marathon with an overall time of 2:06:18, achieving an average pace of 9:38 min/mile. The race saw Dominique maintaining a steady pace throughout most splits, notably hitting 9:34 min/mile at the very first mile, and finishing strong with a 9:31 per mile pace in the last mile. Elevations occurred steadily, capturing optimal split times between 9:25 and 10:02 minutes per mile. The differential in pace towards the end of the race suggests a push in effort, especially during the 8th mile, the only one where the participant greatly improved her split pace, placing 85th in her division. Dominique's placement was 1994th overall out of 5623 participants. The team association “Chugging Along” possibly provided support, yet individual pacing discipline was notable. Each mile presented variations less than 1 minute, reflecting a controlled performance. Dominique could explore pacing strategies that minimize variability to enhance her position in future races. Keep up the excellent work, and consider incorporating some tempo runs to help maintain even pacing throughout.
