Steady Performance with Improved Consistency Natalie Espino demonstrated an impressive ability to maintain a steady pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, finishing with a time of 4:33:05. Notably, her elapsed pace of 10:25 min/mile shows an improvement over last year's race, where she clocked in at a 10:37 min/mile pace. Her position shows a significant improvement in overall ranking, finishing 973rd out of 2678 participants. Throughout the race, Natalie fluctuated slightly in her pacing, with her fastest split at mile 10 with a 9:04 min/mile pace and her slowest at mile 17 with a 14:44 min/mile pace. The later slowdown could suggest fatigue, which is an area to focus on for future races. Nevertheless, finishing 80th in her division marks a notable effort in a competitive field. Focusing on pace consistency in the second half could help further enhance her performance in upcoming events.
