Consistent Performance with Notable Splits Michele Riccio demonstrated a consistent and steady pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, finishing with an elapsed time of 1:00:21, maintaining an average pace of 9:44 min/mile. A total of 2428 participants competed, and Michele secured 654th place overall, 288th among female participants, and 32nd in the F35-39 division. The third mile was a highlight, with Michele achieving her fastest split of 9:16 min/mile, improving her overall position notably from 828th to 680th. Continuing with the same tempo for most of the race, her last two splits were identical in time at 9:38 min/mile, which helped her maintain her division and gender placements effectively. Future efforts could focus on maintaining this tempo in earlier miles to enhance initial positioning and avoid a late race slowdown as seen in the fourth mile. Excellent race management overall!
