Consistent Pace with Strong Division Finish Lauren Shuler from Boulder, CO, participated in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K with an overall time of 34:14, maintaining an average pace of 11:02 min/mile. Her pacing strategy was consistent, with only minor variations in her mile splits: 11:20, 10:38, and 11:16. She showed a solid performance by improving her position in her age division, F35-39, from 35th after mile 1 to finishing 34th. Lauren placed 314th in gender rank, while her overall rank was 690 out of 1972 participants, indicating a strong showing in a competitive field. Her initial and ending paces suggest a steady approach, though focusing on maintaining the mid-race speed could further enhance performance. Keeping the consistency of her second mile pace in future races might help close the gap on competitors, particularly in her division. Congratulations on the achievement, and keep building on this strong foundation!
