Consistent Performance with Notable Acceleration and Recovery Trace Clement completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon in a final time of 4:00:30, with an average pace of 9:10 min/mile. He exhibited a steady pacing strategy throughout, showing great potential especially noticeable at the 19th mile with an impressive split pace of 8:05 min/milethe fastest during the race. A challenging 4th mile led to a decreased pace, but he rebounded effectively by the 6th mile. Trace demonstrated resilience and a strong ability to adjust in the latter stages. Impressively, Trace's performance in the M15-19 division saw him rank 21st, with a total of 2678 participants. His ability to maintain a consistent pace, as evidenced by keeping his splits largely between 9:00 and 9:26 min/mile, was commendable. For future races, focusing on maintaining that initial steady pace without significant deviation could help improve overall placement. Keep working on pacing strategy, especially in the middle segments, to sustain energy for a robust finish.
