Steady Performance with Strong Finish Steven Edelfelt demonstrated a consistent effort throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, completing the race in 1:47:05. His average pace was 8:10 min/mile across the 13.1 miles. Steven started with an 8:28 min/mile pace on the first mile but quickly increased his speed, clocking his fastest mile at 7:47 in the 12th mile. This showcases his ability to conserve energy and increase speed toward the end, a key component for competitive racing. From the recorded splits, a pattern of gradual improvement can be seen from mile 5 onward, with notable improvements in placing, especially evident between the 5th and 9th miles, where his position rose from 500th to 643rd overall. Consistency was a strong point, as his pace hovered around the low 8-minute per mile mark. Continuing to refine pacing strategies in the initial stages may further bolster his performances in future races. Solid effort, Steven, keep pushing those limits!
