Steady Pacing with Late Race Challenges Carissa Butler completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with a final time of 4:33:06, averaging a pace of 10:25 min/mile over the 26.2 miles. It's notable that Carissa maintained a consistent pace early on, with her first two miles clocked at 9:17 min/mile. Her overall position was 974th out of 2678 participants, and she placed 81st in her division for F25-29. During the race, her pacing reflected some changes, where she showed particular strength at mile 10 with a 9:08 min/mile. While Carissa maintained strong splits for most of the course, her pace decreased around mile 17, recording a slower split of 14:42, which suggests a loss of momentum. Despite this, she successfully finished, indicating resilience, but this highlights an area of opportunity for future events. Overall, Carissa's return to a more consistent pace towards the end, particularly at mile 25 with a 10:00 split time, shows her capacity for recovery under fatigue.
