Consistent Performance in First Half of the Race Giovanna Santos ran the 2025 Boulderthon 5K race clocking a final time of 30:15, with an overall pace of 9:45 min/mile. Her results placed her 442nd out of 1972 participants. Notably, she secured the 34th position in her F30-34 division. Giovanna's performance was stable, beginning with a strong first mile at a pace of 8:56 min/mile. Her pacing strategy showed a notable switch after the initial mile, where her splits transitioned to 10:04 and 10:18 min/mile in the subsequent miles. This translated into a steady yet slightly slower pacing as the race progressed. A focus on maintaining the earlier pace could help improve her splits and overall time in future races. Nevertheless, finishing 181st among female participants indicates a commendable effort on her part.
