Consistent Splits Yield Strong Finish Owen Buehler maintained impressive consistency throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, finishing the 13.1-mile race in 1:29:34 with an average pace of 6:50 minutes per mile. Starting steady with a 7:29 minute first mile, Owen progressively accelerated and ended his run with a remarkable 6:12 minute split at mile 13. These split times reflect well-executed pacing and endurance, especially considering the progressively faster splits in the latter part of the race. Owen's strong performance saw him placing 143rd overall out of 6,546 participants, 120th among men, and 15th in his M20-24 age division. Noteworthy is his leap from 30th at mile one in his division to finishing 15th, thanks to effective pace management. Improvement could focus on maintaining a similar faster pace in the initial miles to capitalize on his strong finish. Overall, Owen exhibited impressive strategic racing skills that can be further refined for future events.
