Consistent Pacing, Strong Finish Mei Taylor completed the 2025 Boulderthon with a total time of 4:20:17, maintaining a steady average pace of 9:56 min/mile. Throughout the marathon, Mei demonstrated consistency, with slight variations in pace, particularly noticeable in the final stages. Her overall ranking was impressive, finishing 769th out of 2678 participants. Reviewing split times, the latter half of the race showed a notable acceleration in the final miles, with mile 25 clocked at 9:03 min/mile and mile 26 at an impressive 8:47 min/mile. This strong finish indicates a well-managed distribution of effort. For future races, maintaining an earlier consistent pace akin to the final miles could enhance overall performance even further. However, maintaining such endurance and speed, especially towards the race's end, is a commendable achievement. Keep focusing on those late-race speed pushes, Mei!
