Steady Pace and Strong Finish in Boulderthon Samantha Zwickey, a 39-year-old from Lafayette, CO, maintained a consistent pace throughout her 10K race at the 2025 Boulderthon. Her splits show remarkable consistency, starting with a 10:24 min/mile for the first two miles and slightly adjusting to 10:30 min/mile by the fifth and sixth mile. Her final elapsed time was 1:05:07, matching an overall pace of 10:30 min/mile. It's commendable how she maintained a steady pace despite a slight slowdown between miles 3 and 4, from 10:25 to 10:51 min/mile. Her performance yielded positive movement in placements. Samantha climbed from 81st in division after mile 1 to 62nd by the finish. This suggests she has potential for tactical gains related to pacing adjustments after the third mile in future races. The data suggests she can focus on maintaining an even stronger pace in the middle miles, potentially improving her overall and division standings even further.
