Consistent Pace and Strong Finish Characterize Performance Erin Johnson completed the 2025 Boulderthon 10K with a total time of 56:25 and a steady average pace of 9:06 min/mile. Her final standing was 414th overall out of 2428 participants, showcasing a notable improvement in position over the course, advancing from 637th to 414th overall. Erin achieved this by maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race, starting with a 9:16 min/mile for the first two miles, and ultimately lowering her pace considerably in the last miles with sprint-like paces of 8:53 min/mile. Erins progressive improvement during the race earned her 37th place in her division (F30-34) and 153rd among all female participants. An impressive strategic aspect of Erin's performance was her ability to continually accelerate through the last half of the run, from a 9:18 min/mile at the third mile down to sub-nine-minute miles in the final stretches. Maintaining focus on this ability to gradually increase pace will be valuable for future races.
