Consistent Performance with Top Division Finish Kelly Joy demonstrated a highly consistent pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, maintaining an overall pace of 6:35 min/mile over the 13.1-mile course. Remarkably, Kelly clinched the top spot in her division, Women's 45-49, spotlighting her age-group excellence. Her strategic pacing was evident as she began strong with two consecutive 6:21 min/mile splits, securing a top position early in the race. She managed to maintain her strong-standing by only slightly varying her pace for the remainder of the race, with a slight slowdown only occurring between the 11th and 12th mile. Kelly finished with a final time of 1:26:18 and placed 14th in her gender category. This consistent and well-managed effort throughout the race confirms Kellys focused approach and exemplary performance. Future training could focus on refining later split times to sustain initial paces and possibly improve overall ranks significantly.
