Consistent Start, Challenging Finish Beau Staso demonstrated a steady pace throughout the first half of the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, maintaining an average pace of approximately 8:50 min/mile. Notably, he hit his fastest mile with a split of 8:12 at mile 12. Beau also improved his placement significantly by promptly advancing from 501st to 330th place overall by mile 5, showing competitive efforts early on. However, the second half of the race presented challenges as the pace declined, particularly from mile 17 onward, with the split times expanding to over 11 minutes per mile, such as 12:42 during mile 19. Despite these hurdles, Beau finished with a respectable overall time of 4:25:08, averaging a pace of 10:07 min/mile. For future events, focusing on maintaining energy in the later stages can help Beau retain a stronger finish, potentially improving both overall time and placement.
