Date: Sept. 28, 2025 Participant: Cody Smith #12028 Race: 2025 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles Weather: Perfect running weather with temperatures in the 50's to 70's and nice cloud cover

Consistent Early Effort Despite Late Slowdown Cody displayed strong and consistent performances in the initial miles, with early miles completed in under 7-minute mile splits, notably maintaining a pace of around 6:34 to 6:46 per mile from mile 1 to mile 10. Halfway, he showed particular efficiency with the 12th mile being his fastest split at a 6:28 mile pace. This illustrates a solid start with good stamina and pacing. In the latter part of the marathon, Cody experienced a slowdown, with split times rising above 8 minutes and peaking at 11:24 on mile 24. By focusing on maintaining energy levels and steady pacing in the later segment of the race, there could be additional gains in performance. Nevertheless, Cody completed the 26.2-mile event with a respectable overall pace of 7:33 per mile in the 2025 Boulderthon. Great effort across the race, and fine-tuning race-endure could balance performance throughout.
