Consistent Pace with Room for Strategic Gains Jack Mcgurrin from Denver, CO, maintained a steady pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, completing the 13.1-mile course in 1:32:04. Starting strong with identical splits of 6:34 min/mile for the first two miles, Jack showcased impressive initial consistency. Splits between miles 3 and 4 showed a slight pace decrease to 7:04 min/mile. A remarkable surge back to a 6:46 pace occurred at mile 5 after falling back earlier. His final mile was executed at a 6:52 pace, only slightly under his fastest of the day. Overall, Jack placed 182 out of 6546 participants, and 150 in his gender. His splits reported strategic variability, such as mile 5's 6:55 peak gain. Moving forward, focusing on maintaining early momentum could optimize positioning, particularly between miles 4 to 7, where gradual pace deceleration was observed. Ensuring pacing throughout will aid in securing competitive placements.
