Pacing Fluctuations Challenge Finish Consistency Throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, Timothy Hicks maintained a steady average pace of 9:28 min/mile, completing the 26.2-mile course in 4:08:22. Starting strong with an 8:39 min/mile pace for the first mile, Timothy was able to push during the fifth mile, achieving an impressive 5:17 min/mile pace. Notably, mile 5 saw a significant improvement in his overall ranking, rising to 295th overall and placing 26th in the M35-39 division. However, the latter stages of the race showed some pacing variability, with the pace in the final miles consistently above 9:30 min/mile. A constructive focus could be on maintaining a uniform pace throughout, particularly in the final miles where split times transitioned over 10 minutes per mile. Despite these obstacles, Timothy's performance was strong across the field of 2,678 runners, finishing 575th overall and 58th in his division.
