Consistent Pace with Potential for Time Gains Luz Barboza completed the 2025 Boulderthon 5K with an overall elapsed time of 31:31, achieving an average pace of 10:10 min/mile. Her performance showed consistency, with split times of 10:18, 9:47, and 10:19, respectively, demonstrating the ability to pick up speed in the second mile. She completed the race placing 44th in her age division (F30-34) out of an unspecified number of participants in this category. Overall, Luz placed 515th out of 1,972 participants, which shows the crowded competitive field. Luzs strongest segment was the second mile, where she decreased her pace to 9:47 min/mile, improving with each stride. There is a noticeable slow down in the third mile, which could indicate room for strategic pacing in future races. Focusing on maintaining the increased speed from the second mile through to the end may enhance her overall race time in upcoming events. Keep up the great momentum!
