Consistent Performance with Strategic Pacing Hilda delivered a commendable performance at the 2025 REVEL Big Bear Half Marathon with an overall time of 2:09:54, reaching a pace of 9:55 min/mile. Starting strong with a 9:47 min/mile pace for the initial mile, she exhibited consistency throughout. Notably, Hilda improved her pace from the start, reaching her fastest split at mile 7 with a 9:03 min/mile pace, showing strategic speed increases during the mid-race segment. This pushed her to advance in division position, finishing 21st in the F60-64 category.
