Consistent but Variable Performance with a Strong Finish Gavin Depue demonstrated a consistent effort throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, completing the 26.2-mile course in 4:13:24. His average pace was 9:40 min/mile. Notable fluctuations in pace included a significant slowdown in mile 5, taking 11:03, while his fastest split was mile 12 at 8:40. Importantly, Gavin showed resilience by maintaining a strong finish in the final two miles. Starting strong, Gavin improved his position from mile 1, where he was 825th overall, to finishing 658th, placing 133rd in the M20-24 division. Comparing this marathon to last years Boulderthon Half Marathon where he held a faster pace of 9:00 min/mile, there's potential for further improvement in pacing strategy. Focus on maintaining a consistent pace without the drastic slowdown in the middle miles could enhance his overall race performance. Practice in this area might reflect positively in future events. Keep up the strong effort!
