Consistency in Splits with Strategic Surges Raichelle had a notable run at the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, maintaining a fairly consistent pace throughout most of the race with a final time of 2:59:47 and an average pace of 13:43 min/mile. Her performance showed strong pace holding, particularly in the earlier miles, maintaining a 12:12 min/mile pace for the first two miles before adjusting her pace strategy in the later part of the race. A standout moment was during the fifth mile where she dramatically improved her split time to 7:28, which significantly raised her ranks to 319th in her division, Female 30-34. Raichelle managed a remarkable surge in the fifth mile, suggesting the potential for improved race strategy by distributing such energy spikes strategically in future races. Her overall placement at 4923rd out of 6546 shows room for improvement in the middle splits where lots of participants advanced past her. Working on staying strong in the middle miles could yield significant improvements in future performances.
