Consistent Strong Start, Gradual Pace Decrease Keith Reinert from Lakewood, CO, ran the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, finishing in 3:08:02 with an average pace of 7:10 min/mile. Starting solidly, his first half was consistently run under 6:00 min/mile, hitting a peak pace of 5:39 min/mile within the first two miles. Keith demonstrated remarkable ease maintaining an early top performance, cementing his presence early in the race. As the race continued, a noticeable trend was the gradual decrease in pace, where mile splits began extending to over 6:00 min/mile from mile 11 onwards. In the latter part of the marathon, his pace shifted to over 8:00 min/mile. Despite this slowdown, Keith's performance remains commendable as he placed 11th in his division, indicating a strong competitive standing. Analyzing the pacing points, more even pacing towards the race's end might benefit future improvement and sustain placing among top finishes in his division.
