Consistent Pacing Leads to Solid Finish Grant Perdue maintained an impressive consistency throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon. Starting strong, he averaged a 6:15 min/mile pace for the first three miles. Notably, Grant managed to move into first place in his division at mile 5 with a split of 6:25. Despite some fluctuations, he maintained a fairly steady pace, finishing with an overall time of 2:56:52 and an average pace of 6:45 min/mile. Grant's placement in the top 10% of his division (5th out of 50) highlights effective pacing. The focus on maintaining a consistent pace was evident, especially during the latter part of the race where his position fluctuated but remained competitive. Mile 10 marked a slight shift to slower splits, but adjustments post-mile 13, including a faster split of 6:33 at mile 15, show resilience. Working on sustaining the strong early pace into the mid-race stages could further enhance performance.
