Consistent Improvement in Race Performance Emilee Carder demonstrated strong pacing throughout the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, maintaining a consistent average pace of 9:52 min/mile. Starting with a steady pace of 9:46 min/mile for the first two miles, she notably increased her pace to 9:42 min/mile by the third mile, which improved her placement from 852nd to 733rd overall. This effort also augmented her standing in the F25-29 division from 88th to 74th. Emilee completed the race in 1:01:15, placing 711th overall and 321st among female participants, while securing 73rd in her division. It's worth noting her consistent pace, with splits ranging narrowly from 9:37 to 10:20 min/mile. A key area to focus on for future races might be maintaining the increased pace seen in miles 2 and 3 throughout the entire 10K, particularly to counter the slight slowdown observed in mile 4. This race sets a solid benchmark for future improvements.
