Consistent Pacing Leads to Improved Finish Kelly Urbanek showcased reliable pacing throughout the 2025 Boulderthon 10K. She maintained a steady pace, ranging from 9:01 to 9:17 min/mile. Notably, her second and fifth-mile splits were particularly consistent at 9:02 and 9:17 min/mile, respectively. This steadiness enabled her to finish with an overall time of 57:14, averaging a 9:13 min/mile pace. Her consistency positively impacted her final positions, finishing 177th among females and 41st in the F30-34 division. Kelly's performance improved significantly from a previous 10K race where she clocked in at 1:12:49. This improvement is evident in her increased overall placement, moving from 1345th to 454th. Constructive feedback would be to explore strategies for maintaining early pace throughout, particularly in the middle miles where pacing slightly dipped. This consistent pacing approach should be maintained, as it has shown a positive effect in her latest results.
