Strong Finish with Consistent Pacing Victor Litterio delivered a solid performance at the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, completing the 26.2 miles in 3:51:31. He maintained an average pace of 8:50 min/mile. His strategic pacing paid off, as shown by his placement in the top tier of his division (M50-54), coming in 6th out of a large field. Notably, Victor improved his overall position significantly throughout the race, climbing from 777th at the first mile to finishing 342nd out of 2,678 participants. A critical observation of his race shows a remarkably consistent pace, particularly from mile 10 onwards, where his pace hovered around the 8:46 min/mile mark. Miles 10 and 11 demonstrated strong accelerations with splits under 8:10 min/mile, that contributed to a notable finish. Victor's gradual improvement in splits in the latter half of the race suggests a potential area for focus in initial pacing. Continuing to refine the opening miles could enhance overall performance.
