Significant Pace Improvement Patrick's performance at the 2025 Boulderthon demonstrates a notable improvement in pacing and overall results. He maintained an impressive average pace of 6:21 min/mile, completing the 5K in 19:42. Consistent pacing is evident in his split times: opening strongly at 6:14, accelerating to 6:10 during the second mile, and concluding with 6:38. His ability to maintain ranks as 51st male and 9th in the M30-34 division, out of a total of 1972 participants, underscores his competitive edge. The progress from his previous years performance at the 2024 Boulderthon is commendable. Last year, Patrick finished with a 20:55 time and a 6:45 min/mile pace. Achieving a significant time reduction and enhanced pacing indicates effective race strategy and training improvements. Continuing to focus on pacing consistency, particularly in the final stretch, could further improve Patricks future race outcomes. Excellent work, Patrick, and keep building on these gains!
