Date: Sept. 28, 2025 Participant: Gannon Willcutts #25905 Race: 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles Weather: Perfect running weather with temperatures in the 50's to 70's and nice cloud cover

Consistent Performance with Steady Splits Gannon maintained a consistent pace throughout the race, with an overall pace of 6:18 min/mile over the 13.1-mile half marathon. His strongest miles were at miles 1 and 13 where he hit a split pace of 6:05 and 6:10 minutes per mile, respectively. Interestingly, the fifth mile saw a marked improvement in placement, advancing from 63rd to 34th overall, emphasizing strong pacing strategy. Notably, Gannon completed the 2025 Boulderthon in 1:22:41, placing 9th in the M25-29 division. Compared to his 2023 performance, he increased his overall place from 37th to 45th among 6546 participants. His consistent splits show a reliable performance, but a comparison with his previous half marathon time of 1:20:23 suggests focus on pacing in the later stages, perhaps maintaining his fifth-mile surge beyond the midway point, could benefit future races. Great job managing this larger field!
