Consistent Pace Leads to Divisional Victory Aalia maintained a consistent pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, demonstrating impressive control and stamina. Notably, she began with a steady 8:40 min/mile pace for the first two miles. Despite a slower split during mile 4 at 12:40 min/mile, she quickly recovered and clocked a notably fast mile 5 at 5:29 min/mile. Her ability to maintain a pace close to 8:52 min/mile over the entire 26.2 miles was key to her success. Aalia's performance led her to finish first in her division (F15-19), second in her age group overall. Her final placement was 358th out of 2678 participants and 64th among women. Her best placement surge happened between miles 1 and 5, moving from 554th to 345th overall. Continuing this tenacity in future races could post better overall and gender placements. Focusing on improving pace consistency in challenging miles could enhance her results.
