Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Alexis Baxter #21079 Race: 2025 Portland 10K MindRX Group Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Start with Room to Fine-Tune Pace Alexis began the 10K event with consistent pacing at 10:57 min/mile for the first two miles, showing impressive initial endurance. The third mile saw a dip in pace to 12:59 min/mile, which resulted in a drop in her position: 878th overall and 82nd in her division. Her ability to recover in the following miles is commendable, as she improved her split times, returning to 10:47 min/mile by miles four and five. This shows great potential to maintain a steady pace across the race distance. Positional shifts during the event were noteworthy. Initially, Alexis ranked 72nd in her division, and though there was a setback after the third mile, she managed a strong recovery, finishing 75th in the F30-34 division. To enhance future performances, focus on maintaining a consistent pace beyond the initial miles. Joining the Nike Employee Team, Alexis benefits from training resources that can support these improvements.
