35:15 Faster with Podium and Strong Close Finish 9:22:59 for 22.01 miles (25:34/mi). Podium: 3rd Female and 3rd Solo Female. Year-over-year improvement: 35:15 faster than 2024 (9:58:14), pace drop from 27:10/mi; overall moved from 23rd to 17th in a larger field (238 vs 163). Climb-only time 7:48:26 across 10 ascents (avg 46:51); fastest lap 40:55 (Lap 1), slowest 51:31 (Lap 8). Closed strong: last two laps 49:05 and 48:38 after 50:54 and 51:31. Coaching: Turnarounds (gondola + transitions) averaged 9:29; early four averaged 8:56, final five 9:56. Bringing later turnarounds back to early efficiency could save 5-9 minutes. Aim to steady mid-race ascents toward 46-48 minutes (laps 4-8 ranged 46:19-51:31) while preserving the strong finish.
