Consistent Performance in High Altitudes Tina Slee delivered a solid performance at the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent. Her elapsed time was 5:24:58, maintaining an average pace of 24:19 min/mile over the 13.36-mile course. With a slight improvement from her 2024 race time of 5:25:30, Tina demonstrated remarkable consistency. Notably, within her division (F55-59), she finished in 16th place, indicating her competitive performance in a challenging field of participants. Throughout the race, Tina's pacing was strategic, reflecting her experience and understanding of the course. Her initial pace at the start was a swift 11:07 min/mile at Ruxton but gradually slowed as the altitude and slope increased. By the final three miles, which are significantly challenging due to their high altitude, her split paces ranged from 33:13 to 40:06 min/mile. Focusing on these segments in future training could further enhance her performance in such environments.
