Consistent Effort with Late Pace Adjustment Mark Georgiton showed steady pacing throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon. His early pace was promising, with mile splits varying between 9:10 and 9:20 min/mile, indicating strong initial consistency. Notably, his fastest mile occurred at mile 5, clocking an impressive 5:45 min/mile, which also marked his best improvement in position, climbing significantly in overall and gender placements.
