Consistent Start with Opportunities in the Latter Miles Alex Wolfe maintained a steady pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon marathon. Starting with a strong 8:08 min/mile for the first mile, Alex kept a consistent pace around 8:30 min/mile for a substantial part of the race. Notably, there was a slight slow down beyond mile 16, hitting a peak split pace of 10:43 min/mile at mile 23. This may have affected the overall pace of 9:00 min/mile, leading to a final time of 3:56:06. Analyzing the race splits, Alex was positioned within the top third in his division initially, but placement gradually shifted, ending 76th in the M25-29 division. Aiming to maintain the initial pacing in the latter miles could yield a more consistent performance and improved final placement. Despite the slowdown, Alex's ability to complete such a significant distance shows a solid foundation to build on for future events.
