Steady Comeback and Impressive Finish Annette Char demonstrated resilience and focus during the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon. Starting strong, her first two miles were consistent at an 8:24 min/mile pace, placing in the top 10% of her division early on. A significant drop occurred in the third mile with a split pace of 26:04 min/mile, resulting in a slip in her placement. However, Annette showed determination, quickly regaining momentum in subsequent miles. From the fourth mile onwards, she maintained a steady pace, consistently around the mid-8:20s min/mile. Her 9th mile was a standout, clocking in at a remarkable 6:35 min/mile pace. This strong finish propelled her to 25th in her division and 282nd in gender, out of 2,232 female participants. As a coach, focusing on sustaining early consistency while maintaining energy reserves for the later miles could make a notable impact. Excellent job representing the "Legendary" team, Annette.
