Date: Sept. 28, 2025 Participant: Hilda Abrego #42803 Race: 2025 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles Weather: Perfect running weather with temperatures in the 50's to 70's and nice cloud cover

Maintained Steady Pace Despite Slower Times Hilda completed the 2025 Boulderthon 5K with an elapsed time of 53:28, showing a consistent pace of 17:14 min/mile. Her split times increased progressively over the course: 15:19 for the first mile, 17:41 for the second, and 19:10 for the third. Her overall maintenance of speed in the first mile is commendable, suggesting good pacing strategy at the start. She placed 1459th out of 1972 participants overall, and 836th in the female category. Focusing on cadence and endurance might help enhance her performance in future races, especially in later parts where her pace tended to slow down. Aligning her pace more closely with her earlier marathon results, where she has achieved significantly faster paces (as fast as 7:29 min/mile in longer distances), could be key for improvement in shorter distances like the 5K. Keep up the consistent effort!
