Consistent Splits with Notable Late Race Challenge Ryan maintained fairly consistent pacing throughout the 2025 Boulderthon, indicative of a solid race strategy. The variability in split times suggests that Ryan effectively navigated early pacing with a strong opening mile of 11:19. Notably, Ryan displayed resilience with a rapid 11:08 split at mile 9. The fluctuation in pacing during miles 2 and 10, with the most significant slower split of 18:28, could be an area to assess for enhanced conditioning or pacing strategies in future races. Ryan finished the race with an overall time of 3:06:20, achieving an elapsed pace of 14:13 min/mile. Placing 342nd in the M35-39 division and 2215th among male participants out of 6546 total runners reflects a respectable standing. Furthermore, being part of the WTF run club illustrates a commitment to team involvement, which is commendable. Continued attention to late-race pacing and strategic positioning can aid in building upon this performance.
