Consistent Performance with Final Surge Hashem Esfahani maintained an even pace throughout the first half of the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon. Starting strong with consistent mile splits of 9:11 for the first two miles, Hashem then slightly adjusted to a pace ranging from 9:16 to 9:22 in the following miles, which maintained his steady progress in the race. Notably, from miles 3 to 8, he continued to manage a consistent pace, which kept him steadily within the same range of overall placement. A remarkable highlight was the 9th mile, where Hashem picked up speed significantly to a split pace of 7:21, which indicates a powerful late-race surge. However, the pace slow-down to 11:53 in mile 10 suggests opportunity for better pacing strategies at later stages. Concluding with an overall time of 2:04:18, Hashem finished with a consistent average pace of 9:29 min/mile. This steady performance showcases an ability to improve race strategy and sustain energy through to the finish.
