Consistent Splits with a Strong Mid-race Surge Nicholas Bejarano from Perris, CA, delivered a well-paced race at the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, completing the course in 59:07 with an average pace of 9:32 min/mile. Despite starting with consistent splits of 9:17 for the first two miles, Nicholas gained momentum by posting his fastest split of 9:03 at mile 3. There was a slight slowdown in pace near the end, with the fifth and sixth miles recorded at 9:56, which slightly affected his overall average. Nicholas's performance was solid within his age division (M35-39), finishing in 56th place. A notable aspect was his position gain from mile 2 to mile 3, moving up from 61st to 54th place in his division and climbing significantly in the overall ranking from 638th to 540th. This demonstrates effective pacing and energy allocation. For upcoming races, maintaining the mid-race surge while focusing on sustaining the pace towards the end could yield even stronger results.
