Steady Progress Despite Late Slowdown Maria started her 10K at the 2025 Boulderthon with an early strong pace, completing the first mile in 8:52 and holding a 22nd position in her division. The momentum continued with an improvement in the second mile, clocking in at 8:46, although her overall position dropped. The third mile showed a minor decline in pace to 9:14. The fourth and fifth miles reflected a decrease in pace with times of 9:54 and 9:51, respectively. Notably, she managed a slight recovery in her division position after the fifth mile, improving to 29th.

To further improve, focusing on maintaining her mid-race pace could enhance overall performance. Well done on maintaining consistency throughout the race.
