Pacing Consistency Highlighted by a Strong Finish Shelby Kasch displayed notable pacing consistency throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon. Maintaining a steady early pace with initial splits at 9:17 min/mile for the first mile, Shelby slightly decelerated through the middle of the race. Split times between miles 2 to 8 hovered around the 12-minute mark, suggesting a possible need for maintaining consistent energy levels. By mile 9, Shelby improved pace significantly, clocking in at 5:22 min/mile, a remarkable shift indicating a strong concluding effort. Overall, Shelby completed the 13.1-mile race in 2:20:15, averaging a pace of 10:42 min/mile. She achieved an impressive rank in her division F25-29, placing 445th out of 6546 participants. The final part of the race reflects strong potential for future events, particularly if Shelby could retain a steady pace similar to the earlier and final mile splits. Shelby's association with the "WTF run club" undoubtedly contributes to her impressive running discipline.
