Consistent Start, Slight Slowdown in Final Stretch Martha Medina, racing in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K, presented a steady performance with tightly grouped splits throughout the event. Her initial splits of 11:11 for the first two miles demonstrated remarkable consistency, as she maintained an identical pace at both markers. Despite a moderate slowdown in the third mile, resulting in a split time of 12:13, her overall elapsed pace remained within an admirable range at 11:28 min/mile. Finishing with an elapsed time of 35:35, Martha secured the 39th place in her division of F35-39, out of a total 39 participants in that category. Given her consistent pacing in the first two miles, Martha may want to focus on maintaining that rhythm in the final stretch during future races. This could help improve her position further within her division and across her gender category, where she placed 375th among 820 female participants.
