Date: Sept. 28, 2025 Participant: Christina Ginty #41330 Race: 2025 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles Weather: Perfect running weather with temperatures in the 50's to 70's and nice cloud cover

Consistent Early Pace, Modest Slowdown Christina Ginty, competing in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K, demonstrated a consistent start with her first mile completed in 13:00. This set an early steady pace, placing her 1061st overall and 111th in the F30-34 division. As the race progressed, her pace slightly decelerated, with the second mile taking 13:37 and the third mile 14:57. Despite the incremental slowdown, Christina maintained admirable consistency in her splits, finishing the 3.1-mile race with a total time of 43:03 and an overall pace of 13:53 min/mile. In her age division, she completed the race in 130th position out of a total of 1972 participants. Comparing this performance with her 2023 half marathon, where she maintained a faster pace, the 5K offered a different challenge. Focus on developing speed endurance could be beneficial for future races to manage pace transitions more effectively in shorter distances. Keep leveraging your strength in maintaining consistency. Nice work!
