Consistent Effort Despite Altitude Challenges Huntar Phillips showcased a steady performance during the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon. Covering 13.36 miles in an elapsed time of 6:20:59, Huntar demonstrated determination at high altitudes, beginning at 6,303 feet and reaching the summit at 14,061 feet. Notably, an elapsed pace of 28:31 min/mile reflects the difficult course and relentless elevation gain. Huntar at one point improved from 1454 to 817 in overall placement despite the adverse conditions. From the start, progress was consistent with a promising 10:55 min/mile pace through Ruxton. At Barr Camp, Huntar displayed consistency with a split pace of 14:58 min/mile. High-altitude sections proved challenging, evident from longer splits, such as 55:04 min/mile at "1.5 Miles To Go." A potential area for focus could be maintaining momentum in the final miles, where the most significant time increases were observed. Overall, Huntar's perseverance and strong start are commendable.
