Consistent Performance with Late Surge Jacob Carlson displayed a consistent performance during the 2025 Boulderthon 10K from Denver, CO. His overall elapsed time was 52:20 with an average pace of 8:26 min/mile over the 6.2-mile race, placing him 27th in the M25-29 division out of 2428 participants. Notable is Jacob's improvement in placement as the race progressed, especially between miles 4 and 5, where he significantly improved his position overall and within his division. Analyzing Jacob's splits shows an effective strategy and consistent pace. His fastest mile was the fifth, clocking in at 7:55 min/mile, which helped elevate his placement. While his pace was consistent, small drops in placement early on indicate potential areas for strategic improvements in the initial miles. Nonetheless, his ability to excel in the later stages suggests a developed endurance capacity. A focus on optimizing early race speed could enhance overall performance in future races.
