Consistent Start with Recovery and Strong Finish Drea Horne demonstrated consistent pacing for much of the race with an overall elapsed time of 1:52:16 in the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, maintaining an average pace of 8:34 min/mile. Drea's splits in the initial two miles were exactly 8:23 min/mile. The most interesting segment was the third mile where the pace significantly dropped to 26:30 min/mile, affecting placements by dropping to 4070 overall. This unusual decrease in pace suggests a possible brief rest or regrouping phase during that mile. Notably, the recovery from this slower split was impressive. By mile 4, Drea had regained a pace of 11:29 min/mile and continued to enhance performance, eventually closing at a strong pace of 8:06 min/mile by the last mile. Theres visibility to areas of strength, particularly in maintaining and recovering pace quickly, which contributed to finishing 1009th overall out of 6546 participants, as well as 175th in the M30-34 age division.
