Consistent Start, Slower Finish Isaac Soto participated in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K, finishing with a time of 25:22. His average pace was 8:11 min/mile. In this race, he ranked 21st in his division, M30-34, and 121st in his gender category among 1972 participants. His performance began with a strong mile at 7:58 min/mile, maintaining a steady pace initially. However, his pace gradually slowed, especially noticeable in the last mile which he completed at 8:35 min/mile, contributing to a slight drop in overall standing from the previous year. Comparing this performance to the 2024 Boulderthon, where he finished in 24:33 with a pace of 7:55 min/mile, indicates a slower result this year. Focusing on maintaining a more consistent pace after the first mile may help optimize future race results. Paying attention to endurance training could enhance his later-stage performance in upcoming races. Keep up the dedication, and consider targeted pacing strategies.
