Progressive Pace Improvement Yields Steady Finish In the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, Sean Parker displayed commendable pacing strategy with a final time of 3:31:39, maintaining an overall average pace of 8:04 min/mile. A notable pattern emerged in his performance as he progressively improved his split times from 8:44 min/mile in the initial mile to an impressive 7:16 min/mile by mile 10. There was a solid effort in the middle miles, reflected by an advancement in overall position from 604th at the first mile to 145th entry at mile 21.
