Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Jack demonstrated consistent pacing throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, completing the 13.1-mile course in 2:01:38 with an average pace of 9:17 minutes per mile. Starting strong, he maintained a steady pace with initial splits of 9:53, improving slightly by mile 4 to 9:48. His performance saw progressive improvements, highlighted by a notable acceleration in mile 9 with a split time of 7:25, the fastest mile of his race. Jack's placement improved impressively as the race proceeded, moving from 3051st overall at mile 2 to finishing 1825th. His improvement was also clear in his division, as he moved from 220th to 164th place in the 20-24 age category. Jacks ability to pick up speed, particularly in the latter half, suggests strong endurance. Focusing on maintaining this momentum and possibly pacing slightly faster from the start could lead to even better results in future races. Great job representing Team Strongo!
