Consistent Effort with Slight Pacing Challenges Natalie Lynch completed the 10K race at the 2025 Boulderthon in 1:34:13, averaging a pace of 15:11 min/mile. Her performance included consistent pacing across the splits, indicating a steady approach. However, her pace did slightly decrease over the course of the race, starting with a 14:22 min/mile pace in the first mile and slowing to a 15:50 min/mile in the final mile. This indicates a potential area to focus on, particularly maintaining an even pace in the latter stages. Natalie's placement shifted throughout the race, reflecting fluctuations in her pacing. Her strongest split was the first mile, where she ranked 1418th overall. Interestingly, her position improved in the fifth split, showing she can increase her competitiveness earlier on. Participation with Team Achilles indicates a strong community aspect that could be leveraged for pacing strategies. Overall, focusing on consistent pacing and gradual improvement could enhance her future performance.
