Consistent Beginning with Progressive Challenges Yvette Garcia maintained a consistent start in the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, with her initial split at 8:51 min/mile. Her split times were strong initially with mile 2 slightly faster at a pace of 8:46 min/mile. However, her pace progressively slowed, with mile 4 taking particularly longer at a 10:42 min/mile pace. Overall, she completed the event in 1:00:40 with an average pace of 9:47 min/mile. Yvette showed early strength, placing 29th in her division after the first mile, though this dropped to 63rd by the end of the race. Notably, despite the slowing splits, she showed a slight recovery between miles 4 and 5, moving back up in the standings. Focusing on maintaining her initial pace over a longer distance could be beneficial for future performances. More specific pacing strategies might help keep her strong, early rhythm throughout the entire 10K.
