Steady Effort with Opportunities for Speed Gains Paul Dang participated in the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, finishing with an elapsed time of 2:29:52 and maintaining an average pace of 11:26 min/mile. He demonstrated a consistent performance, with a noticeable acceleration at mile 5, recording a split pace of 6:42 min/mile, which was significantly faster than other segments. This surge improved his overall standing, reaching as high as 2385th place overall during that mile. Overall, Paul displayed tenacity, consistently completing each mile. His final placement was 3932nd in a field of 6546 participants. While his pace remained steady, focusing on the variability in split times, such as the slowing at miles 4 and 9, could reveal opportunities for improvement. Concentrating on evenly distributing effort throughout the race may create a more uniform pace and enhance overall performance in the future. Keep up the good work, Paul, and continue honing those pacing strategies!
