Consistent Pacing and Strong Finish Ira Weyand delivered a solid performance in the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with an overall time of 1:50:11, averaging an 8:24 min/mile pace. Notably, his pacing remained consistent throughout the race, with an initial split of 8:42 min/mile and a steady progression to a faster 8:24 min/mile pace by the race's end. Impressively, Ira managed to increase his speed in the final miles, with his fastest split being 7:30 in mile 12. This strategy contributed to his improved position, moving up from 850th in his gender initially to 591st by the end.
