Steady Gains in Boulderthon 10K Performance Maria Albuja demonstrated consistent improvement at the 2025 Boulderthon. She completed the 10K with an elapsed time of 53:27, maintaining an average pace of 8:37 min/mile. This race saw Maria placing 6th in her division (F45-49), showing marked progress from previous events. Notably, she improved from her 2023 Boulderthon result, where she recorded a time of 1:08:12. Maria's mile splits began at an 8:12 min/mile pace for the first two miles, transitioning to a slower pace by mile four but maintaining close to a 9-minute pace up to the finish. Particularly impressive is her ability to stay consistent across multiple splits, with her placing holding steady throughout the race. Constructively, there may be an opportunity for Maria to work on maintaining her initial pace in the later miles to optimize her overall time and placement further. Keep up the great progress!
