Steady Progress with Late Challenges Raymond started the 2025 Boulderthon with a promising pace, maintaining an average of 8:15 minutes per mile over the first three miles. A significant drop occurred at mile 4, where his pace slowed to 11:27 minutes per mile. However, he quickly rebounded with two impressive back-to-back splits of 6:31 minutes per mile at miles 5 and 6, regaining steady momentum throughout the middle portion of the marathon. In the latter half, Raymond's performance remained generally consistent, though the pace gradually slowed. The final two miles saw a pace of over 10 minutes per mile, contributing to a slight decline in overall position. Notably, Raymond managed to complete the marathon with a time of 3:51:11, maintaining an average pace of 8:49 minutes per mile. Focusing on sustaining the mid-race pace can help improve consistency in future performances.
