Pacing Consistency and Improved Division Placement Reese Van Putten maintained a consistent and impressive performance in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K. Starting at a pace of 5:33 min/mile for the first mile, he accelerated to 5:17 min/mile in the second mile before settling at 5:38 min/mile in the third mile. Notably, Reese's pace consistency contributed to a final elapsed pace of 5:29 min/mile over the entire 3.1-mile distance. Impressively, Reese placed 5th in his competitive division of M20-24, among a field of 1972 participants. Compared to his previous race in the 2024 Boulderthon Half Marathon, his division placement improved from 4th to 5th despite a shorter, quicker race format. Future focus could aim at sustained pace from the second mile into the final segment. This presents an exciting growth opportunity as Reese continues to develop his running prowess.
