Consistent Pace Key in Boulderthon 10K Joel Ernst maintained an impressively steady pace in the 2025 Boulderthon 10K. He completed the 6.2 miles with an overall elapsed time of 1:03:13, resulting in an average pace of 10:11 min/mile. Starting strong with a 9:13 min/mile for the first two miles, Joel showed consistency over the initial stages, holding his position within his gender and age division. A slight decline in pace was observed in the subsequent splits, with his slowest mile pacing at 10:56 min/mile during miles four and five. His performance positioned him 832nd overall out of 2,428 participants, with notable standings of 438th among males and 63rd in the M35-39 division. While he experienced a minor decrement in split pace after mile two, particularly around the 4-mile mark, maintaining a consistent effort throughout the race is commendable. Working on mile split consistency, particularly in the latter half, could enhance overall performance in future races.
