Pacing Consistency and Strong Finish Laurel Rosenthal completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with an overall time of 2:39:37, achieving an average pace of 12:11 min/mile. Noteworthy was her ability to maintain consistent pacing throughout most of the race. Her strongest performance was seen between miles 2 and 5, where splits were notably faster, averaging around 11:18 min/mile. This indicates potential for a faster overall time with strategic effort distribution. While Laurel experienced a slowdown in the later miles, she managed an impressive burst of speed in mile 9, logging a split of 9:39 min/mile her fastest pace segment.
