Consistent Performance Shines in 5K Run Claudeth Castellanos delivered a consistent performance at the 2025 Boulderthon as part of the Las Estiradas! team. She completed the 5K with an elapsed time of 29:01, maintaining a steady average pace of 9:21 min/mile. Each mile presented a distinct challenge that Claudeth met with grit. Her first mile was her slowest at 9:58, which could be an opportunity for a stronger start in future races. However, she demonstrated improvement in her following split with an excellent pace of 8:36 min/mile in the second mile. Despite a slight slowdown in the third mile with a 9:28 split pace, Claudeth remained steady, securing the 6th place in her division (F50-54) consistently through each section. Out of a competitive field of 1972 participants, she placed 353rd overall and 137th among female runners. This pattern of consistency and strategic pacing should be encouraged and could serve as a focus for future training.
