Date: Sept. 28, 2025 Participant: Noah Heintz #33448 Race: 2025 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles Weather: Perfect running weather with temperatures in the 50's to 70's and nice cloud cover

Steady Pace with a Slight Shift in Performance Noah maintained a steady pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, completing the race with a final time of 59:22, averaging a pace of 9:34 min/mile. Initially, his quickest split occurred between the first and second mile at a pace of 9:16 min/mile, which improved from his starting split of 9:30 min/mile for the first mile. His overall consistency is notable, with only minor variations in his mile splits. However, slight fluctuations in pacing were evident after the fourth mile, where Noah's pace slowed to 10:02 min/mile, contributing to his overall time and placement of 580th out of 2428 participants. Finishing 65th in the Men's 25-29 division indicates a strong participatory field, yet suggests focusing on pace retention during the latter stage of the race could be beneficial. Continuing to work on maintaining mid-race pacing could yield valuable improvement in future events.
