Consistent Start, Solid Division Standout Fabian Bayona participated in the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, representing Running Denver. He started strong, consistently maintaining a 7:26 min/mile pace for the initial two miles, placing 9th in the M20-24 division. His steady pace initially allowed him to hold 126th place overall. However, as the race progressed, a slight drop in pace occurred, reflected in splits for miles 4 through 6, ranging from 7:41 to 8:36 min/mile. This reduced his division placement to 15th and placed him 165th overall. Despite these slower splits in the latter half, Fabian's early pace indicates potential for better endurance training to maintain consistency throughout the entire event. Focusing on sustaining initial pace could enhance his future performances. Notably, his performance still stands out as he completed the distance with an elapsed pace of 7:59 min/mile, amidst a competitive field of 2428 participants.
