Date: Sept. 28, 2025 Participant: Joe Harris #25482 Race: 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles Weather: Perfect running weather with temperatures in the 50's to 70's and nice cloud cover

Steady Pace with Strategic Pushes Joe Harris maintained a consistent pace in the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, finishing in 1:43:36 with an average pace of 7:54 min/mile. Noteworthy was his ability to accelerate in specific segments, notably between miles 5 and 6, where he improved his overall placement significantly from 653rd to 393rd. Harris's strategic push on the 12th mile with a split pace of 7:40 also highlights effective management of his energy reserves toward the end. Consistently finishing each mile within a tight range of 7:40 to 8:08, he showed impressive stability throughout the race. Compared to his previous performance in the 2024 Boulderthon, there's an opportunity to revisit strategies that might recapture his prior pace of 7:30 min/mile, as seen last year. His final standing in the M35-39 division for this race was 60th, among a total of 6546 participants. This solid performance suggests potential areas to focus on as he plans for future races.
