Consistent Pace Leads to Strong Finish Margot Swordy completed the 2025 Boulderthon 10K with a total time of 55:54 and an average pace of 9:00 min/mile. Throughout the race, Margot demonstrated consistent improvement in pace, starting at 9:40 min/mile and dropping her split pace to as low as 8:43 min/mile by mile five. Her overall place was 395 out of 2,428 participants, and she was the 143rd female finisher. Notably, she placed 23rd in her division (F25-29). Margot's performance showed a clear ability to pace herself effectively, with noticeable gains particularly in the second half of the race. One area to consider for future improvement might be working on maintaining or enhancing the pace during the third and fourth miles, even though she recovered well in later miles. Her membership with Team Jennifer Swordy might provide support and training opportunities to enhance this further. Great job, Margot!
