Consistent Progress Amidst Tough Competition Emily Masters delivered a steady performance at the 2025 Boulderthon 5K, finishing with an overall time of 32:00 and a pace of 10:19 min/mile. Her initial mile split of 10:17 min/mile set a solid foundation, followed by a positive progression with a faster second mile at 9:53 min/mile. Although the third mile saw a slight decrease in speed with a 10:42 min/mile split, her consistent pace allowed her to finish 236th among 1,972 female participants and 49th in the F25-29 division. Emily maintained a top-half position throughout the race in a competitive field. The variation between her second and third miles can be worked on to enhance overall consistency. Focusing on maintaining the faster pace established in mile two could benefit future performances. A slight shift in pacing strategy could potentially improve her position and showcase her competitive edge against her peers in upcoming events.
