Consistent Start, Challenging Finish Katherine Travis maintained a consistent pace in the initial miles of the Boulderthon Marathon. Among her standout performances were miles 1 through 3, where she consistently clocked in paces around 9:00 min/mile, peaking at mile 5 with a fast split pace of 5:27 min/mile. This effort placed her in the top 15 of her division at that point. With notable consistency from miles 6 to 10, she kept her pace under 9:05 min/mile, displaying control and focus. In the latter part of the marathon, the pace slightly increased. Between miles 17 and 26, there was an observable decline, where her pace ranged from 10:26 to over 13 minutes per mile which resulted in her final pace being 10:07 min/mile. Constructively, examining approaches to maintain a steady pace throughout the latter stages could prove beneficial. However, the strong start and her ability to finish the marathon exemplify her determination and resilience.
