Consistent Splits with a Strong Finish Erin maintained a notably consistent pace throughout the Boulderthon Half Marathon. Her steadiness is reflected in mile splits ranging mostly between 7:30 and 7:35 per mile. A slight dip occurred at mile 11 with an 8:54 pace, but this was quickly recovered with a swift 7:19 pace in mile 12. This ability to rebound suggests strong mental resilience and strategy in pacing, allowing Erin to finish with an overall time of 1:40:25, a solid 7:39 pace. Erin ranked 21st in her age division (F25-29) and 102nd among female participants, placing her in the top 2% of the overall female finishers. Notably, her strongest gain was observed between miles 9 and 10, where she improved her overall placement from 355 to 328. Consider maintaining a constant pace in challenging moments to avoid significant drop-offs, as observed in mile 11, to enhance future performances.
