Consistent Pacing and Strong Finish Mark Performance Chris Krycho maintained a consistent pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, finishing with an impressive time of 2:54:57, which translates to an average pace of 6:40 min/mile. Starting with a swift 6:18 min/mile for the first mile, the early stages of the race placed Chris in a favorable position, ranking second in his M35-39 division by the second mile. Notably, he secured the lead in his division during later miles, demonstrating determination and control throughout the race. His ability to maintain position and pace highlights strong endurance and strategic racing. One area of focus could be managing pace fluctuations in the middle miles. For instance, the split pace of 6:49 min/mile in mile 21 suggests there may be a chance to optimize endurance further into the race. Nevertheless, Chriss performance showed remarkable improvement from previous races, as emphasized by a significant pace increase from his 2024 half marathon, where he averaged 7:35 min/mile.
