Consistent Effort with Strong Mid-Race Recovery Luis maintained a steady effort throughout the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, completing the race in 1:01:29 with an overall pace of 9:55 min/mile. Notably, Luis showed a strong mid-race recovery. From Mile 1 to Mile 2, there was a notable improvement, with the split pace dropping from 10:07 to 9:13 min/mile. This indicates a strategic acceleration early in the race. While the last mile pace of 10:11 min/mile was slightly slower, Luis's overall performance remained steady. Impressively, Luis achieved a peak division placement within the M30-34 bracket at Mile 5, reaching 67th place. Focusing on maintaining momentum in the latter half of the race would be beneficial for future events. Consistency in pacing and the ability to recover strongly mid-race are valuable assets. Keep building on these strengths!
