Consistent Performance Under High Altitude Challenges Erin Robertson completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent with an elapsed time of 6:00:36, covering the half marathon distance of 13.36 miles at a pace of 26:59 min/mile. She placed 27th in the F55-59 division, showing remarkable consistency and endurance over various segments of this high-altitude, challenging terrain. Notably, Erin maintained steady splits early on, like a 22:35 pace from "Ruxton" to "Hydro Street" and showed resilience in segments above 10,000 feet, finishing strong even as the elevation reached 14,061 feet. Comparing to her 2024 performance, Erin's time increased slightly from 5:50:13, suggesting a slightly slower pace. Her division ranking improved, moving from 37th in F50-54 in 2024 to 27th in F55-59 this year. Areas to build upon could include maintaining pace during high-elevation segments, such as the "1 Mile To Go" split, where her pace dropped to 43:46 min/mile. Adjustments in training for these specific segments could enhance future performances.
