Consistent Pacing Yields Top Division Finish Christina Winchell showcased a strong performance at the 2025 Boulderthon 5K. She maintained a consistent and impressive pace, starting with two back-to-back splits of 5:49 min/mile. This allowed her to secure first place in the F15-19 division across all three splits. Despite a slight drop in pace during the third mile to 6:24 min/mile, her stamina and determination were evident as she completed the 3.1 miles with an overall pace of 6:02 min/mile. Her finishing time of 18:44 placed her 57th overall among 1,972 participants and 18th in the female category. Christina's capability to maintain such consistent splits is commendable, particularly her ability to stay on pace in the early stages of the race. Future races could benefit from aiming to sustain or slightly improve pace during later stages to optimize overall time. Congratulations on your strong division win, Christina!
