Consistent Start, Varied Splits, and a Strong Finish Joelle Kaufman participated in the 2025 Boulderthon 10K with some noteworthy metrics. Her initial mile was clocked at an 8:18 pace, contributing to a positive start, ranking 80th in her gender. Her performance remained fairly stable through the first three miles, with slightly increasing split times of 8:35 and 8:40, indicating a mild decrease in pace consistency without significant rankings drop in her division. However, the last part of the course saw a more pronounced variance in mile splits, reaching a 9:30 pace by mile six. Despite this variation, she admirably climbed in her division placing by the fifth mile. Joelle's overall elapsed time was 54:58, with an average pace of 8:52 per mile. Finishing as 14th in the F20-24 division is commendable. A potential area to focus on might be maintaining a steadier pace in the latter half to counter any time loss.
