Consistent Performance with a Strong Finish Bjorn Nelson delivered a steady performance throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, maintaining an average pace of 8:05 min/mile. Starting with a mile pace of 8:10 min/mile, he ran a fairly consistent race, recording stronger splits in the latter part. Notably, he managed a remarkable surge during the final miles, with mile 12 and 13 pacing at 7:33 and 7:25 min/mile, respectively. This late-race speed boost is an area of strength that shows potential for future races, given his overall time of 1:46:06. Bjorn's placement in the M25-29 division saw him finishing 96th, with an overall placement of 646 out of 6546 participants. Observing these results, one opportunity for improvement could be maintaining his speed from the start to reduce time lost in the middle miles. A focus on consistent pacing across all splits might enhance his time in future races. Great job on finishing strong!
