Steady Performance with Consistent Pacing Barbara Ruffinazzi completed the 2025 Boulderthon 10K with a time of 1:01:13, maintaining a consistent pace of 9:52 min/mile. Her performance saw her place 320th in her gender category, a solid display among a competitive field of 2,428 runners. Notably, she showed resilience as she progressed through the race, particularly in the third and fourth miles where she slightly slowed but managed to maintain her position. Throughout the race, consistency was key. Her initial split was 10:06, with her fastest split during the second mile at 9:10. Although her pace slightly decreased to a split of 10:15 by the fourth mile, Barbara regained a steady rhythm, finishing strong with negative splits from the fourth to sixth miles. A key area to consider for future races could be sustaining the faster pace achieved in the second mile and experimenting with maintaining it further to improve overall time. Keep up the good work, Barbara!
