Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Hugo Silva #12587 Race: 2025 Portland Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Effort Marked by Strength in Mid-Miles Hugo Silva participated in the 2025 Portland Marathon, completing the 26.2-mile course in a time of 4:34:05 and an average pace of 10:27 min/mile. He showed notable strength in the mid-section of the race, particularly from miles 4 to 8, where he consistently improved his pace from 9:44 to 9:33 min/mile. Hugo's performance peaked at mile 8 with a swift 9:17 min/mile split, which helped regain ground that had been lost in the initial miles. In the latter part of the race, Hugo experienced a gradual pace decline, with miles 19 to 25 showing times exceeding 11 min/mile. A focused effort on maintaining pace consistency in future races could enhance overall performance. His determination shone through with a strong finish compared to his prior half marathons. Training post-race may emphasize endurance in the final miles to improve pacing consistency throughout the race. Hugo's participation contributes positively to the Nike Employee Team.
