Consistent Early Splits, Challenging Later Miles Kelvin Shorts completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with a total time of 5:28:23, averaging a pace of 12:32 min/mile over the 26.2-mile course. He maintained a steady pace through the early miles, exhibiting control with split times of 10:32 min/mile for the first two miles and managing to hold a consistent pace around 10:40 min/mile through the first six miles. His strong start saw him rising in position, improving from 1627th overall to as high as 1318th. As the race progressed beyond mile 10, Kelvin faced pacing challenges. His split times slowed, peaking with a 16:06 min/mile pace at mile 20. One area to focus on could be maintaining pace consistency in the marathon's later stages. His finish placed him 1100th among male runners and 62nd in the M40-44 division, highlighting a notable endurance effort despite the later-race slowdown. Continuing to build on longer distance endurance might help in future events.
