Consistent Effort with Strategic Pacing Robby Lagen from Nashville, TN completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon in a solid time of 4:17:47. Averaging a pace of 19:17 minutes per mile over the 13.36-mile course, Robby maintained a strategic approach to pacing with positive splits as elevation increased. Starting strong with a swift 8:40 pace up to Ruxton, Robby's pace reflected a careful balance between speed and endurance. His climb through notable points such as No Name Creek and Barr Camp demonstrated consistent pacing. As the elevation increased dramatically to over 14,000 feet, Robby's speed understandably tapered, with the final miles averaging around a 28:11 pace. Despite these slower final splits, the overall effort showed a commendable performance, landing him in 68th place within his division. For future races, examining the pacing during climbs above the tree line might provide insights for further improvements at high altitudes. Well done on navigating this challenging environment, Robby!
