Date: Sept. 28, 2025 Participant: Spencer George #22465 Race: 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles Weather: Perfect running weather with temperatures in the 50's to 70's and nice cloud cover

Steady Start with Opportunities for Consistency Spencer George from Denver participated in the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, completing the 13.1-mile course in 1:51:21 with an average pace of 8:30 min/mile. Notable achievements include a strong surge between the 4th and 5th miles, dropping to a split pace of 7:31 min/mile, which improved his position substantially. This strategic acceleration moved him to the top 38 in his division temporarily. However, Spencer's splits indicate targeted areas for strategic consistency. After a robust start, his pace slowed notably from mile 8 onward, reaching a split pace of 10:15 in the 8th mile. Maintaining earlier paces in later miles could enhance overall performance significantly. Despite these fluctuations, Spencers efforts are commendable as he placed within the top 15% of all participants, with room for refining pace management. Focusing on sustained pacing strategies could lead to even more impressive results in future races.
