Consistent Start with Potential for Strong Finish Katie Watson delivered a solid performance in the 2025 Boulderthon 10K. She began with consistent early splits at a pace of 8:33 min/mile for the first two miles, securing a place of 368 overall and 130 in her gender category. However, her pace slowed slightly from mile 3, increasing to an average of 10:15 min/mile by the fourth mile. This had an impact on her overall placement as she moved to 563 overall. Across the entire course, Katie's final time was 59:24, finishing with an average pace of 9:34 min/mile. She achieved commendable placement in her division, ending as the 54th female in the F30-34 category, 247th in the female overall category, and 586th out of 2428 participants. Future races would benefit from maintaining the initial pace, particularly beyond the second mile, which could lead to improved overall results.
