Strong Start with Consistent Effort Karina Arnold demonstrated robust initial efforts during the 2025 Boulderthon with remarkable pacing. She started with her fastest mile, clocking in at 7:28 minutes per mile for the first two miles and leading her division in the F25-29 category. This consistent early pace contributed to her solid standing within her division and gender. While her pace slightly decreased over the latter half of the race, averaging 7:53 minutes per mile for the overall 10K, Karina managed to maintain a steady performance, finishing 4th in her division and 38th among females out of 2,428 participants. This steady pacing across the race distance provided a strong base for future competitions. For her next race, Karina could focus on maintaining her initial pace throughout the middle miles to potentially improve her division ranking even further.
