Steady Progress with Subtle Fluctuations Bruce Tieu executed a consistent marathon performance at the 2025 Boulderthon, finishing in 4:33:01 with an average pace of 10:25 min/mile. While there were slight variations in his pace throughout the race, Bruce maintained a sound strategy, starting with early miles like the 9:40 min/mile in the first mile to a final push at 11:50 min/mile for mile 26. Notable splits include his fastest mile at 12 with a pace of 8:39 min/mile, showcasing an encouraging burst of energy at the midpoint. While Bruce's overall position was 971 out of 2678 participants, his split times show he had a strong start and maintained competitiveness throughout the race. Encouragingly, Bruce's overall pacing was quite stable; however, there's an opportunity to work on his pacing strategy in the later miles. Practicing even pacing and maintaining speed in the later stages could improve his overall performance.
