Consistent Start with Potential for Speed Optimization Maggie's performance at the 2025 Boulderthon demonstrated a strong start, maintaining a consistent pace within the first 6 miles. She kicked off with a 6:39 min/mile pace, securing 4th in her division at the first mile. Notably, her pace was remarkably steady through this initial section, staying under 7 minutes per mile for the first 4 miles and keeping her well-positioned within the top 10 division rankings. As the race progressed, there was a gradual decline in her split paces, with the most significant change occurring between miles 8 and 11. Despite this slowdown, Maggie showed resilience by maintaining an overall pace of 7:36 min/mile and concluding her half marathon with a time of 1:39:38. Focusing on sustaining her earlier pace or buffering against pace decrease in latter stages could boost future performances. Her initial consistency indicates a robust foundation to build upon.
