Steady Ascent and Iron Will Over Pikes Peak Jonas Boettner completed the Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon in 4:47:14, covering a daunting ascent over 13.36 miles at an average pace of 21:29 min/mile. His overall placement was 836th out of 2049 participants, with a division rank of 45th in the O20-24 category. Jonas began the race at 1217th in overall placing and gained significant ground, steadily improving his position as the miles and elevation accumulated. Notably, Jonas maintained a consistent effort, with his pace remaining relatively stable even in the last challenging miles. Between the A-Frame (10.29 miles in) and the Finish (13.36 miles), despite slowing, the intensity was resolute, particularly between the milestone of '0.5 Miles To Go' and the Finish where his pace remained nearly on par with previous splits. Recommended focus for future races could be on maintaining or slightly improving late-race pacing, especially when ascending to higher altitudes.
