Consistent Pacing Yields a Strong Division Finish Matt Pentis demonstrated remarkable consistency in his pacing during the 2025 Boulderthon 5K. His split times show an impressive ability to maintain speed, with each mile clocking in just above the 7-minute mark. The first mile was completed in 7:03, and he quickly picked up the pace slightly for the second and third miles, each finished in 7:01. The overall elapsed time for the 5K was 21:54, with an average pace of 7:04 minutes per mile. Notably, Matt secured the 8th spot in his division (M35-39) among 1972 participants, a commendable accomplishment. This consistency in split times highlights a well-managed race strategy. Continuing to focus on even slight improvements in maintaining or slightly decreasing split times could further enhance results. Staying consistent in training and possibly incorporating some speedwork or endurance sessions could yield positive outcomes in future races. Keep up the great effort with the Colorado Avocados team!
