Consistent Start, Strong Middle, Slower Finish Andrew maintained a steady pace at the beginning of the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon. His initial splits were consistently around 10:07 min/mile, indicating a well-paced start. Notably, his split at the 5-mile mark was impressive with a 6:19 min/mile pace, where he significantly improved his standing, moving up to 763rd place overall. This middle-section boost highlighted Andrew's strong potential and capacity to quicken when needed. In the later stages, Andrew's pace began to slow, with splits gradually extending into the 12 to 14 min/mile range. His overall finishing time was 5:02:13, with a final pace of 11:32 min/mile. A possible area for improvement could be maintaining his mid-race momentum to sustain a faster pace towards the end. Nevertheless, his performance shows great promise, and with some focused endurance training, his future races could see improved finishing times. Keep up the dedication, Andrew!
