Steady Start with Opportunities for Late-Race Improvements Bhargav Peela demonstrated a solid performance at the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon. He maintained a consistent pace for the first 5 miles, with each mile between 11:30 and 11:58 minutes, showing strong early race execution and tactical understanding. Of particular note was the improvement by the 5th mile, where he achieved a ranking of 261st in his division. Moving into the middle of the race, pace consistency began to decline, with times ranging from 12:53 to 15:22 minutes per mile between the 6th and 8th miles, indicating areas for strategic recalibration. Despite a challenging latter half, he completed the race in 2:56:04 with an average pace of 13:26 min/mile. His final rankings were 479th in his division and 2176th in gender, out of 6546 total participants. For upcoming races, Bhargav might focus on maintaining his early pacing in later stages to bolster overall performance. Excellent effort and valuable experience gained with the Denver Dawgs team.
