Consistent Start with Strong Mid-Race Surge During the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, Thomas Briscoe maintained a steady pace initially, running the first two miles at 8:38 min/mile. A slight decrease in pace was seen between miles 3 and 4, with splits of 9:02 and an atypical 12:45 min/mile, respectively, impacting his position temporarily. Notably, a powerful surge occurred at mile 5, where he clocked an impressive split pace of 5:19 min/mile, significantly improving his standings to 339th overall from 884th during mile 4. After this burst, Thomas found a rhythm, averaging close to 8:30 min/mile for a considerable portion of the race.

Despite a small setback in the last few miles, his consistent mid-race pace ensured a finish at an overall rank of 377th out of 2678 participants.
