Consistent Progress with Improved Speed Perla Chapa demonstrated remarkable consistency and improvement during the 2025 Boulderthon 10K. Despite maintaining a relatively steady pace with an overall elapsed pace of 9:00 min/mile, Perla showed improvement from her last year's pace of 9:50 min/mile. Noteworthy is her fastest mile at a split pace of 8:39 min/mile during mile two, indicating strong potential in maintaining or even improving speed earlier in the race. While Perla achieved a final time of 55:52, which places her in the top 15% of the field with significant improvement over her past result by approximately 5 minutes, maintaining consistency in the latter half of the race could bolster her standings. Her pacing strategy resulted in positive splits, most notably a slight slow down to 9:33 min/mile in the last mile. Focusing on even pacing can potentially enhance her future performances, given her demonstrated progress.
