Strong Start and Consistent Pace Josiah Du Fault completed the 2025 Vacation Races Bryce Canyon Ultras 60K with a time of 7:53:17. He maintained a consistent pace throughout the race, with an average elapsed pace of 12:55 min/mile over 36.6 miles. His performance peaked during the 4.01-mile split from Mile 12 to Mile 13.2, where he clocked an impressive pace of 9:35 min/mile. Notably, Josiah improved his overall position after starting at 114, quickly moving into 23rd place by Mile 1 and eventually finishing in 13th place overall out of 151 participants. In the final stages, he showed resilience, particularly from Mile 34.6 to the finish line, with a split pace of 10:02 min/mile, slightly faster than his average pace. Maintaining a strong average pace in the latter stages suggests potential for improved endurance. Future race strategies could focus on maintaining the early rapid pace throughout middle segments to enhance overall timings further. Your early pace was key; perhaps work on sustaining that effort longer in your training.
