Consistent Pacing with Challenging Splits Phoebe maintained a steady average pace, finishing the Boulderthon Marathon with a final time of 4:24:44 and an overall pace of 10:06 min/mile. Her splits reflected a generally consistent performance, beginning with a 9:24 min/mile at the first mile. Her strongest segment was between miles 11 and 12, achieving an impressive 8:29 min/mile, helping her regain momentum after a slower segment at mile 4. Phoebe consistently ranked in the top third of her gender and age division, securing 47th place in the F20-24 category. An analysis of her position shows resilience, recovering from more challenging splits, especially the 17:09 min/mile during mile 20, which affected her overall rank. Future efforts could focus on maintaining speed during later stages to minimize pace variability, particularly to effectively handle longer mileage mid-race. This strategy could further enhance her performance in races of similar distance.
