Strong Finish with Consistent Splits in Boulderthon David Martinez maintained a steady performance throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon. His overall time of 1:43:05 reflects an average pace of 7:52 min/mile, placing him 493rd overall and 7th in his M50-54 division out of 6546 total participants. The consistency in his pacing was notable, with splits predominantly under the 8-minute mark. A highlight is his final segment, clocking in at 7:23 min/mile, indicating a strong finish. David showed remarkable endurance, particularly by maintaining his rank and pace from miles 5 through 8. While there was a slight slowdown during the 9th mile with an 8:30 pace, he quickly adjusted and improved, demonstrating resilience. Building on his past experience from the 2024 Boulderthon 10K, where he paced at 7:38 min/mile, a focus on minor pace adjustments early on could further optimize his performance, particularly in the next quarter-marathon besting splits.
