Consistent Paced Performance with Strong Mid-Race Gains Chris Lee demonstrated a steady pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, finishing with a time of 47:57. Notably, Chris made significant gains in positioning, moving from 248th at the first mile to 94th overall by the fifth. The overall average pace was 7:44 min/mile. The second mile registered the fastest split at 7:00 min/mile, showcasing a strategic acceleration. The improvement in splits contributed to Chris placing 18th in the M35-39 division, with a notable leap to 13th by mile five. While the final split was slightly slower at 8:10 min/mile, maintaining focus on late-race pacing could further enhance finish times. Compared to last year's half marathon pace of 7:57 min/mile, Chris demonstrated improved speed. Continued focus on pacing strategy could leverage mid-race strength and minimize end-of-race fluctuations.
