Consistent Strong Finish with Notable Mid-Race Performance Steve Blaurock from Denver, CO completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with an overall time of 1:50:30, pacing at 8:26 min/mile. Among 6546 participants, Steve finished 878th overall, placing 607th in his gender and 97th in the M35-39 age division. Strong pacing, particularly at miles 12 and 13, where Steve achieved splits of 8:05 min/mile and 8:02 min/mile respectively, played a key role in his performance, helping regain positioning towards the race's end. Steve maintained consistent pacing, mainly ranging between 8:23 and 8:37 min/mile. Notably, mile 5 set a brisker pace at 5:04 min/mile, moving up significantly in placement. There was a noticeable challenge during mile 4, clocking an 11:52 split time, affecting Steve's positioning. To enhance future performances, focusing on maintaining a steadier pace, especially in slower miles, could potentially improve both overall time and placement, considering Steves ability to recover strong in later stages.
