Consistent Middle-Mile Performance Krish Patel, representing the New Yorsey team in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K, maintained a fairly consistent pace throughout the race. His performance showed effective pace management, with an overall elapsed time of 28:09, averaging a 9:04 min/mile pace. Notably, the second mile was his best, clocking in at 8:20 min/mile. He showed capability in accelerating mid-race, resulting in a competitive 19th place within his age division after the first mile. While Krish finished 25th in the M20-24 division, several aspects of his race could see improvement. For instance, his initial split at 9:21 min/mile was the slowest. There is potential to enhance his starting pace to reduce the time discrepancies observed in the splits.
