Steady Start with Room for Consistency Chris Rothfelder completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with an elapsed time of 1:47:42 and an average pace of 8:13 min/mile. Notably, the first two miles were the strongest segments, with paces of 7:43 and 7:31 min/mile, solidifying a promising start in 412th place overall. His performance remained steady with average split paces ranging from 7:51 to 8:17 min/mile up until mile 9, when maintaining a consistent pace became more challenging. In terms of overall placement, Chris started strong but experienced a slight decline in positions over the course. He finished in 727th out of 6546 participants, ranking 510th among men and 82nd in his age division. Encouragingly, regaining some lost positions by mile 12 suggests resilience and a potential focus area for pacing consistency. Continued work on sustaining pacing, especially in the second half, could significantly impact future performances.
