Solid Climb with Strong Phase Finish Gabriella Hubble tackled the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent with determination, completing the Half Marathon's challenging terrain in a time of 4:15:43. She covered the 13.36-mile course at an overall pace of 19:08 min/mile, placing 121st among female participants. Impressively, she secured the 16th spot in the F20-24 division, demonstrating strong competitiveness among her peers. Notably, her performance in the early stages, such as the Ruxton split, showcased her potential as she ranked 20th in her division at that point. Throughout the race, elevation increased dramatically, peaking at 14,061 feet, which tested her endurance and adaptation to altitude. Gabriella showed consistency from the beginning to the midpoint but faced the most significant pace drop between the 10.29 and 12.31-mile marks, suggesting a strategic opportunity for pacing adjustment in subsequent runs. Her recovery and link to a competitive mindset near the end, as she improved to 12th in her division at the 0.5-mile mark, underscore her ability to push hard in the final phase.
