Consistent Pacing Leads to Division Victory Laurie maintained a solid performance at the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, completing the 26.2-mile course with an overall time of 3:56:26 and an average pace of 9:01 minutes per mile. Her pacing consistency is notable, with split times predominantly under nine minutes per mile, except for mile four, which saw a surge to 12:27. This split was an outlier as she quickly regained her pace, achieving a fastest split of 8:16 during mile twelve. Lauries strategic pacing allowed her to finish first in the F60-64 division, moving up from second place late in the race and holding this position until the finish. Laurie started at a steady pace, with her first two miles clocking in at 8:55 per mile, positioning herself well in the field. As the race progressed, maintaining a pace close to her average ensured her strong division placement. An area to explore for improvement could be managing pacing consistency to avoid significant variances like those seen in mile four. Congratulations on a well-executed race and victory in your division!
