Consistent Performance with a Steady Pace Massimo Alpian completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with an overall time of 1:47:19, maintaining an average pace of 8:11 min/mile. A standout performance was evident in his steady pacing throughout the race. Notably, his third mile was consistent with an 8:04 min/mile pace, which was maintained up to the sixth mile. Although there was a slight decrease in pace, this consistency displayed controlled effort. In his age division, M40-44, Massimo placed 48th out of a competitive field. His placement varied throughout the race, with some stronger positions like the 50th spot at the six-mile mark and one of his best placings at mile 12, where he reached 36th.

Overall, Massimo's even pacing strategy demonstrates efficiency, and focusing on maintaining this effort in the later miles could enhance future results.
