Consistent Effort with Strong Mid-Race Surge Elizabeth Ortega completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with an overall time of 2:24:59, achieving an average pace of 11:04 min/mile. The strength of her performance was showcased during a standout mid-race surge at mile 5, where she clocked a 6:11 min/mile split, notably boosting her placement to 1853 overall and 83rd in her division. Throughout the race, Elizabeth showed consistency, with her pace mostly fluctuating between 10:21 and 11:25 min/mile. Her final positioning was 3624th overall, 1821st among female participants, and 160th in the F40-44 division out of 6546 total participants. While her strategy of maintaining a steady pace seemed effective, slight improvements could be considered in managing split times post-middle surge to maintain momentum. Continue capitalizing on that mid-race energy, and refine pacing strategy. Well done representing "Latinos Run Denver"!
