Steady Ascent with Strategic Improvement Opportunities Kathryn Tubb completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon with an elapsed time of 4:12:21 and paced at 18:53 min/mile over 13.36 miles. She secured the 4th place in her division (F16-19) among 2049 participants. Kathryn began the race at a strong pace, clocking 8:37 min/mile at the Ruxton stretch. Her pace remained consistent with slight adjustments as the elevation increased. Notably, she improved her position to 2nd in her division during the "1.5 Miles To Go" split but fell back to 4th by the finish. Compared to her 2024 performance, which ended with a faster time of 4:06:43, Kathryn's pacing on steeper sections offers potential for refinement. Increasing endurance at higher elevations could aid in maintaining a more consistent pace, especially in the latter parts of the race. Focus on elevation-specific training could enhance her positioning in future races, especially considering her earlier improvements in the 2025 event.
