Strong Start and Consistent Pacing Caroline Teal demonstrated impressive consistency in her marathon performance at the 2025 Boulderthon. Initially starting with a pace of 9:22 min/mile for the first mile, she quickly picked up speed, achieving her fastest single-mile split in the 5th mile with a time of 5:18. This was a standout moment, elevating her position to 14th in her division at that point. Notably, Caroline maintained a steady pace throughout most of the race, with her overall pace averaging 9:06 min/mile. Despite some variations, such as a slower 12:23 split in the 4th mile, Caroline made strategic recoveries, especially towards the end of the marathon.
