Consistent Effort with Early Strength Cesar Gomez participated in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K, representing Belmar Pharma Solutions with a final time of 51:09 and a pace of 16:30 min/mile. He covered the 3.1-mile course with a total elapsed time consistent with his overall pacing strategy. Notably, his early performance was solid with a first-mile split of 16:59, which positioned him at 1269th place overall. Analyzing the splits reveals an opportunity for maintaining steady pace after the promising early performance. The second mile improved to a split pace of 13:59, but he encountered a slower third mile at 18:50 per mile. This could potentially be improved by focusing on maintaining momentum in the later phases of the race. Overall, Cesar placed 579th among males and 70th in his M35-39 division, showing commendable effort in a field of 1972 participants. Consistency in pacing, particularly post-mile two, could offer benefits in future races.
