Date: Sept. 28, 2025 Participant: Kristen Litvin #33733 Race: 2025 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles Weather: Perfect running weather with temperatures in the 50's to 70's and nice cloud cover

Consistent Pace with Strategic Adjustments Kristen maintained a steady race pace throughout her 10K at the 2025 Boulderthon. Her initial mile came in at 8:42 minutes, and she slightly increased her pace to 8:37 minutes in the second mile. While there was an increase in her split time to 9:41 minutes at mile 3, she regained some consistency by pacing at 9:18 and 9:30 minutes per mile in subsequent miles. Her overall elapsed pace was maintained at 9:37 min/mile. It's notable that Kristens position fluctuated during the race, illustrating an active competitive field. She started strong in her age division F45-49, holding 6th place initially, and completing the race in 15th within her division. One constructive area to focus on could be maintaining the initial faster pace throughout later miles. Fine-tuning pacing strategy could potentially help improve future race outcomes.
