Consistent Pace with Strong Finish Taylor Balady maintained an impressive and consistent average pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon, with an overall pace of 8:56 min/mile. Beginning with a solid opening mile at 8:49, she showed a strong performance across the board. Her split times remained consistently close to her average, with only a few deviations. Notably, mile 10 saw her fastest pace at 8:26, indicating a strong burst of energy as the race progressed. Her finishing time was 3:54:26, placing her 12th in the F30-34 division. The splits detailed steady pacing; however, there were areas towards the latter half, particularly miles 24 and 25, where the pace slightly dropped to over 9 minutes per mile. It could be beneficial to work on later-race endurance to maintain pace consistency throughout. Still, the performance was commendable, especially her ability to regain pace towards the race's conclusion.
