Consistent Performance with Notable Split Consistency Fermin Aramburu completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with an elapsed time of 4:09:41, maintaining an average pace of 9:31 min/mile over the 26.2-mile course. The overall placement was 596 out of 2678 participants, with a division placement of 103 in the M25-29 category. Noteworthy aspects include a strong start with the first-mile pace of 9:10 min/mile and a strategically faster pace during miles 5 and 6 at 7:29 min/mile each. Although an increase in elapsed pace was seen between miles 20 and 22, with paces over 10 minutes per mile, Fermin closed the marathon with a consistent final push to maintain a pace under 10:24 min/mile. Each split demonstrated a clear understanding of race strategy, particularly in the second half of the marathon. A focus on consistently optimizing split times in later stages could further enhance performance metrics in future races.
