Consistent Pacing and Strong Finish Fordyce Lux impressively maintained an even pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, demonstrating considerable endurance and strategy. Completing the race in an official time of 1:31:36, Lux achieved an average pace of 6:59 minutes per mile. After starting with a 6:58 for the first mile, Lux slightly fluctuated between 6:49 and 7:14, managing to finish strong with a notable 6:45 in mile 12. Placing 23rd in the M35-39 division and 175th overall out of 6,546 participants highlights Lux's steady performance in a highly competitive field. A particularly interesting detail is the slight drop in the ranking during the initial miles, where he moved from 189th to 215th place overall in the second mile before gradually advancing. Notably, improving pacing consistency in the mid-miles could potentially elevate Lux's future race outcomes. The ability to conclude with a faster pace suggests tactical strength and potential for further performance enhancement.
