Consistent Pacing and Late Challenges Cody Carter participated in the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, completing the 26.2-mile race with an elapsed time of 4:26:59 and an overall pace of 10:11 min/mile. Cody maintained a consistent pace through the initial miles, with splits close to 9:00 min/mile. Notable improvements were seen between miles 15 and 19, where his pace quickened to around 8:55 min/mile, showing strong momentum in the mid-race phase. However, the latter part of the race presented some challenges. The pace slowed significantly from mile 22 onwards, peaking at 17:25 min/mile in mile 25. This indicates potential fatigue or terrain challenges during these final miles. Placing 892nd out of 2678 participants is commendable, but focusing on maintaining pace during the concluding miles could yield improved results. Cody displayed strong mid-race endurance, and targeting late-race stamina might enhance performance in future marathons.
