Consistent Early Performance with Room for Late Phase Focus Dwayne started strong in the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with a sub-seven-minute pace for the initial miles, reaching the 5-mile mark in 33:25. Notably, he improved his position considerably, moving up 54 places between the 4th and 5th mile. His best performance occurred during Mile 2, achieving a swift 6:27 split pace. After maintaining a solid pace for the first half, Dwayne's pace decreased slightly in the later miles, with Mile 8 showing a marked slowdown to a 7:58 pace. The final split time was 8:39 for Mile 13, contributing to a slight decline in overall ranking by 40 spots from Mile 12 to the finish. Encouragingly, Dwayne's consistent efforts throughout the race, especially his strategic early miles, suggest that with some focus on sustaining speed in the later stages, there could be significant improvements in future races.
