Consistent Pace with Strong Divisional Finish Liz Russell completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with a total time of 1:48:38, maintaining a steady average pace of 8:17 min/mile over the 13.1-mile course. Her performance was consistent, with most split times varying slightly around her average pace. The fastest split was from mile 1 to mile 2 at 7:52 min/mile. This early speed demonstrated a strong start, though some split times later on, like mile 11 at 8:44 min/mile, indicated potential areas to refine pace management. Notably, Liz showed significant improvement in her competitive standing during the race. Starting strong with a position of 609 overall and 19th in her division at mile 1, she finished 20th in her division among 43-44-year-old females, which is commendable. One area for improvement could be maintaining a more even pace through the final miles to minimize the variance in split times, particularly between miles 5 to 13.
