Consistency and Strong Finish Define Performance Gem Figueroa completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with a total time of 1:39:46, maintaining an average pace of 7:36 min/mile. Among 6546 participants, Gem placed 366th overall and 273rd among male runners. In the M20-24 division, he secured the 34th position. Notably, Gem managed to maintain pace consistency across the race, with most mile splits within seven seconds of the average pace, showcasing his steady performance throughout the event. While Gem displayed consistency, there's an opportunity to improve in pacing strategy. Mile 11's split time of 8:00 indicates a slight slowdown, followed by a quick recovery with a 7:02 split time in Mile 12. This suggests potential in maintaining a tighter range across splits. Gems strong finish, demonstrated by returning to a 7:02 min/mile pace in the penultimate split, suggests the ability to strategically conserve energy for a powerful finish. Keep focusing on even pace distribution to enhance future performances.
