Strong Start with Consistent Performance Elena Carrion's performance at the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon displayed consistency over the early stages of her race. Her initial splits remained tightly grouped within an 8-second range from 7:47 to 7:49 min/mile up to the 5-mile mark. She showed notable improvements in her positioning, particularly at mile 5, advancing to 21st in her division. From mile 6 onwards, her pace slightly decelerated, fluctuating between 8:07 and 9:14 min/mile, which is reflected in her overall result of 1:49:13 with an average pace of 8:20 min/mile. Despite this, reaching 59th in her division highlights her determination and potential. A more focused pacing strategy in the latter miles could help maintain the strong pacing witnessed early in the race. Overall, Elena's capability to establish a steady pace early on suggests a solid foundation to build upon for future competitions.
