Consistent Pacing Leads to Remarkable Performance Herman Solis maintained an impressive average pace of 8:27 min/mile throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, completing the event in 3:41:30. His performance notably improved compared to last years marathon, where he had a pace of 10:23 min/mile. Consistent pacing was key, as evident from his splits where he efficiently managed his pace, especially during the later miles, even registering a 7:49 min/mile at mile 19 and 8:16 min/mile at mile 26. Solis secured an impressive placement, ranking 233rd overall out of 2,678 participants, 196th among men, and 49th in the M25-29 division. He gained ground steadily through the race, notably moving from the 534th overall position in the first mile to finishing at 233rd. Although the pace slowed slightly between miles 22 and 25, the ability to pick up speed again during the final mile is commendable. Consider maintaining steady splits throughout for even greater placement in future races.
