Consistent Start with a Strong Mid-Race Surge Joshua demonstrated a steady pace throughout the Boulderthon Half Marathon. Starting with a 9:28 min/mile in his first mile, he showed a noteworthy mid-race improvement between miles 4 and 5, recording his fastest pace of 6:03 min/mile. This surge improved his positioning significantly, jumping from 2519th to 1111th overall, and from 307th to 138th in his division. While Joshua maintained a consistent overall pace of 9:51 min/mile, his ability to regain lost positions was apparent. Ending the race with a total time of 2:09:03, he placed 2436th overall out of 6546 participants. Notably, maintaining more steady splits after his mid-race surge could be beneficial. Also, the increased paces beyond mile 5 offer a potential focus area for future races, ensuring energy distribution supports a more stable finish. Keep leveraging the positive aspects, and continue to refine the overall race strategy.
