Steady Pacing with Mid-Race Strides in Boulderthon Walker Johnson clocked a final time of 58:40 in the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, maintaining a consistent average pace of 9:27 min/mile. The race saw fluctuations in his split performances, notably improving from a 9:44 min/mile in the first mile to a strong 9:06 min/mile by mile five. His performance placed him 540th overall, 319th in the male category, and 60th in the M25-29 division out of 2,428 participants. Focusing on split details, Johnson started conservatively, with a 9:44 min/mile pace, and found his rhythm mid-race, speeding up to a swift 9:06 pace by the fifth mile. However, the consistency waned slightly, as seen in the slower third mile at a 10:03 pace. A potential area for future focus could be maintaining the faster paces he demonstrated in miles two and five. His effort was commendable and solidifies him as a valuable member of Team Vegetables.
