Steady Effort with Room for Speed Gains Andrew Winters participated in the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, finishing with a total time of 1:48:36, covering the 13.1 miles at an average pace of 8:17 min/mile. Andrew maintained a consistent pace throughout the race, illustrating strong middle segments with splits like 8:11 at the 8-mile mark, and a slight slow-down during mile 9 with a 10:45 split. A highlight is the quick adjustment and impressive recovery during mile 10 with a notably fast split of 5:24 min/mile. Compared to the 2024 Boulderthon, Andrew's time was slightly slower, indicating an area for future focus might be on maintaining speed gains throughout the entire race. His overall position was 772nd out of a significantly larger field of 6546 participants, compared to 412th out of 4452 in his previous run. Concentrating on consistent pacing and boosting speed at key segments could enhance his competitive edge in future races.
