Consistent Start, Tough Finish Cory Lampshire began the 2025 Boulderthon with a strong start. His early paces were solid, clocking in with initial miles between 8:23 and 8:58 min/mile. Notably, miles 4 to 7 saw him maintaining a consistent pace, keeping him in the 8-minute range. Split 3 was an outlier with a significantly slower pace, which impacted overall positioning temporarily. However, he quickly regained momentum with back-to-back 2:34 min/mile splits in miles 4 through 6, placing him well in his division early on. As the race progressed, the paces slightly increased, particularly after the 19-mile mark. The final miles saw increasing times, culminating in a 14:14 min/mile in the last mile. This reflects potential areas for improved endurance. Positive takeaways include a maintained sub-9 min/mile pace through 16 miles. Consistency and pacing strategy in the early parts were strengths. Future races might benefit from a focus on sustained energy through the later stages.
