Persistence in Pace: Consistency Over Distance Allen Peoples delivered a steady performance at the 2025 Boulderthon with an elapsed time of 4:14:00, maintaining an overall pace of 9:41 min/mile. Notable consistency in his pacing is evident, with his splits largely remaining around this average, notably accelerating to 5:46 min/mile at mile 5. Within his division M40-44, he finished 27th, highlighting strong competition in his age group. Though Allen experienced a slight slow down compared to previous entries, notably the 2024 Boulderthon where he ended with a time of 3:59:04, his performance reflects perseverance across increasing field sizes, facing 2678 participants this year. Constructively, addressing fluctuations around the mid-section of the race, particularly the 10:30 min/mile at mile 4, could be a point of focus for maintaining a more consistent pace throughout future races. As part of the Beast Pacers, he continues to exemplify commitment to improvement and teamwork.
