Strong Finish with Consistent Pace Gains Timothy Le-Pham displayed a commendable performance at the 2025 Portland Marathon's "10K MindRX Group" event. His race strategy showed a steady enhancement in pace efficiency. Starting with an even pace of 10:44 min/mile for the first two miles, he made significant improvements mid-race, tightening his split times significantly. By adjusting to faster paces of 8:51 min/mile in miles four and five, he effectively reduced his elapsed pace to 9:34 min/mile by the end of the race. Timothy placed well within his division, showing notable advancement in the latter half of the race. Ranked 47th in the M25-29 division, he covered the 6.2-mile course in just 59:22. Such negative splitting, especially the impressive 7:28 min/mile for the final mile, demonstrates his stamina and race management. Continuing to refine his pace strategy could lead to even better results in future races. Great teamwork with R4T Racers!
