Consistent Early Splits, Late Race Challenges Cory's performance at the 2025 Boulderthon showcased a steady start with a noticeable pace variance as the race progressed. Beginning with a strong first mile at 9:01 min/mile, Cory maintained a consistent effort reaching a peak pace in the second mile at 8:24 min/mile. This pace adjustment contributed to an initial gain in overall position, evidencing strong early momentum. While the latter half showed a slowing trend with splits like 9:48 and 10:09 min/mile, Corys effort to maintain position among his division was commendable. Finishing the race with an overall time of 58:09 and an elapsed pace of 9:22 min/mile, one potential area for improvement is sustaining mid-race pacing to minimize pace dropping in later stages. Focusing on this aspect could enhance future performance, considering the maintained pace through each mile remains competitive against his age group peers.
