Strong Performance at Altitude with Consistent Pacing Will Robinson from Lakewood, CO completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon in a time of 4:36:59, tackling a distance of 13.36 miles. His average pace was 20:43 per mile among a field of 2049 participants. In his age division of 40-44, Will placed 72nd, a commendable achievement given the race's challenging elevation gain from 6000 feet to 14000 feet, particularly the last three miles above the tree line. While maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race, Will showed resilience, notably improving his placements in later stages such as "1.5 Miles To Go", where he reached 423rd place overall and 39th in his division. The shift in rankings reflects a positive gain, suggesting potential in pacing strategy and an ability to adapt to high-altitude challenges. Consider focusing on increasing speed in the early stages while retaining endurance for the most challenging last miles.
