Steady Performance and Division Achievement Laura Pierce completed the 2025 Boulderthon marathon with a total time of 4:10:55, maintaining an average pace of 9:34 min/mile. Notably, she placed 2nd in her division (F60-64), a commendable feat. Her performance shows consistent pacing throughout the race, with splits mostly in the 9:05 min/mile to 9:34 min/mile range. Her early splits, including the first mile at 9:20 min/mile and a quickened second mile at 8:50 min/mile, demonstrate a solid start. Consistency is evident as she maintained her position within the division, finishing strong and regaining a top place in the 24th mile. Suggest considering strategies to minimize the slowing seen in the latter miles, particularly miles 17 to 23, where paces ranged from 10:03 to 11:09 min/mile. Great job maintaining division placement and managing overall race execution effectively.
