Steady Pace and Consistent Performance Jennifer Stevens demonstrated consistent pacing in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K. She completed the race with an overall time of 27:24, averaging an 8:50 min/mile pace. Her splits showed a slight variance: she began with an 8:49 min/mile pace, increased her speed to 8:36 min/mile in the second mile, and finished the third mile at a 9:10 min/mile pace. Her consistency placed her 9th in her division and 87th among female participants in a field of 1972 runners. Analyzing her performance trends reveals a more consistent effort compared to her previous 5K at the 2023 Boulderthon, where she finished in 28:53. However, there's a noticeable variance in comparison to her personal best in 2024, where she achieved a time of 25:30 with an 8:13 min/mile pace. A focus on maintaining speed in the latter stages of the race may help reclaim her previous year's performance peak.
