Strong Start with Room to Maintain Consistency Guerin Durant from Montrose, CO, competed in the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, completing the 26.2 miles in 3:54:53, with an average pace of 8:57 min/mile. He managed to keep a consistent initial performance, especially between miles 1 and 5, with split times ranging from 7:07 to 7:50 min/mile. Notably, he improved his overall standing significantly at mile 5, reaching a placement of 91 compared to an average placement throughout the race. As the race progressed, Guerin experienced a gradual decline in pace, with the most significant drop occurring between miles 20 and 22, where his pace dipped below 10 min/mile. This drop can offer an opportunity for focusing on sustaining endurance during the last third of the race. Overall, Guerin placed 392nd out of 2,678 participants, holding the 78th spot in the M20-24 division. Training on pace consistency in the latter stages could yield better results in future endeavors.
