Consistent Performance with Strong Divisional Finishes Marissa Kraus demonstrated consistent pacing throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, completing the race in 1:29:53 with an overall pace of 6:51 min/mile. Notably, she placed 3rd in her F20-24 division, achieving several strong individual splits along the way. Her fastest split was recorded between miles 1 and 2 at 6:23 min/mile, showing an ability to maintain aggressive pacing in the early stages of the race. Marissa's pace varied slightly, with her splits ranging from 6:23 min/mile to 7:21 min/mile, which is quite impressive for such a long event. She had a notable performance on mile 5, where she placed 1st in her division at a pace of 6:33 min/mile. As her coach, I suggest focusing on maintaining that high placement in future races by working on sustaining speed throughout the latter halves. Consistency in pacing could enhance the overall time and final placement.
