Consistent Start and Room for Steady Finish Ryan Taggett demonstrated a strong start at the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, clocking his first mile at 7:30 min/mile. His overall elapsed time was 49:29, maintaining an average pace of 7:58 min/mile across the 6.2-mile course. This steady performance positioned him 115th among men and 23rd in his division (M35-39). Notably, Ryan's pace slightly decelerated in the latter part of the race, with the final mile recorded at 8:31 min/mile. Efforts in refining the second half of his race could improve future results, aiming for a more consistent pace closer to his initial splits. His performance metrics indicate a solid foundation from which to enhance his pacing strategy. Compared to his previous half marathon, where he finished with an 8:13 min/mile pace, this 10K shows improvements in shorter race pace.
