Consistent Mid-Race Recovery Elevates Finish Henry Reath completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with an overall time of 4:16:37, averaging a pace of 9:47 min/mile over the 26.2-mile course. Impressively, the strongest paces were observed from miles 24 to 26, with splits of 9:29, 9:05, and 9:07 minutes per mile, improving positions in his division significantly. This strong finish was crucial, placing him 141st in the Men's 20-24 division out of 2678 total participants. The early strategy set a steady pace, with a notable split at mile 5, moving from 680th to 492nd in gender-specific placement. However, after a slowdown at mile 7 (11:43 min/mile), efforts to maintain pace are commendable. This consistency appeared to pay dividends, improving by the end of the race. For further enhancement, control during mid-race distances could potentially match the final splits. It's important to sustain the strong finish to overall time efficiency moving forward.
