Steady Improvement with a Mid-Race Surge Casey Krauter displayed commendable consistency throughout the 2025 Boulderthon marathon with notable pacing improvements compared to the previous year. His strong start with a first-mile pace of 8:13 min/mile set a solid foundation. There's a discernible increase in performance with a Personal Best fifth mile at 7:30 min/mile, which ranked him 11th in his division at that point. This split showed potential for increasing his standing further. Sustaining a steady pace through most of the race, the final clock at 3:43:21 shows a marked improvement over last year's 3:53:17. While the later miles saw paces predominantly drop into the 9:00+ min/mile range, he regained some momentum in mile 24 with a pace of 9:33 min/mile, placing 23rd in his division for this split. Focusing on maintaining pace in the later miles could help improve his overall performance even further. Keep up the great work, Casey!
