Consistent Performance with Midrace Pace Adjustment In the 2025 Boulderthon 5K, Mira Whang showcased a consistent pace with an initial 10:01 min/mile on the first mile, securing placement at 755th overall and 372nd in the female category. In the second mile, her pace slowed to 12:37 min/mile, contributing to her time adjustment but retaining an overall race position of 796th. For the final mile, Mira's pace improved to 12:01 min/mile, ultimately completing the 5K race in 35:53. Her placement was 388th among women and 73rd within her F30-34 division. A key takeaway is her ability to slightly increase her pace by the final split after experiencing a midrace deceleration. As a constructive note, focusing on maintaining a steady pace between the first and second mile could optimize future performances. The team spirit of MAPA might be an encouraging factor to explore, as well.
