Consistent Start with Strong Potential Katelyn Whitcomb demonstrated a consistent pacing strategy at the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, maintaining a steady pace in the first half of the race. Her initial five-mile split times were remarkably consistent, all within the 7:03-7:12 min/mile range. These efforts positioned her impressively within the event, achieving a high overall ranking at the start with placements such as 39th in gender among females and 7th in her division for the first mile. Katelyn experienced some fatigue in the latter stages, with her pace increasing from 7:09 to 7:32 min/mile towards the finish. Notably, miles 10 and 11 saw the most significant drops in her pace, reaching 8:39 and 8:23 min/mile, respectively. This slight decline can be viewed as an opportunityyou might consider focusing on endurance-building workouts for late-race stamina. Overall, finishing 11th in the F20-24 division among 6546 participants shows promising potential.
