Steady Start, Consistent Finish Chenese Williams demonstrated a consistent performance in the 2025 Portland Marathon's 10K MindRX Group event. Throughout the race, she maintained an average pace of 13:51 minutes per mile, concluding with a total time of 1:25:52. Her most consistent pacing occurred between miles two and five, where she preserved an even split pace of 14:09 per mile. Notably, her performance improved significantly after the third mile, moving up from 134th to an impressive 83rd place within her division at mile five. A constructive point to consider is the slightly slower pace observed during mile three, where time increased to 15:21. Encouragingly, she and the Nike Employee Team can build upon this robust performance for future races, potentially focusing on maintaining her strong pacing throughout the entirety of the race. This promising start highlights her potential for further improvement.
