Steady Start with Room for Strategic Adjustments Nick Moore's 5K performance at the 2025 Boulderthon featured consistent pacing and strategic endurance. He executed the first two miles with a promising start, clocking consistent paces around 10:06 and 10:03 min/mile, which helped him maintain his division rank initially. His first mile position was 44th in his division, which he maintained into the second mile, indicating a stable start. In the third mile, Nick experienced a slight slowdown, with a split pace of 11:22 min/mile, increasing the overall elapsed pace to 10:30 min/mile by race end. A possible focus area could be maintaining pacing effectiveness throughout the last mile, as he dropped in both overall and gender ranks. Overall, finishing the 5K in 32:35 is commendable, with potential benefits in pacing strategies for upcoming races to push his ranks even higher. Keep up the consistent effort, and continuous improvement will follow.
