Consistent First Half with Room for Steady Pacing Lauren Stone maintained a consistent pace for the first half of the Boulderthon 10K, averaging 9:02 minutes per mile for the initial two miles. Notably, she secured the 230th place in her gender and 26th in her age division at this stage. This initial pace set a solid foundation for her overall performance. However, a gradual slow-down was observed, with the third mile dropping to a 9:36 min/mile pace and subsequent miles averaging above 10-minute per mile pace. The final overall elapsed time was 1:01:26 with an average pace of 9:54 min/mile, positioning her 40th in the F35-39 division. For future races, consider strategies to maintain the early pace throughout or to incorporate intervals to manage fatigue in the latter half. Keep the enthusiasm and focus on sustaining energy levels to maintain initial splits.
