Consistent Performance with Strong Mid-race Efforts Shayne Rabo, 36, from Colorado Springs, CO, completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent with an impressive elapsed time of 4:50:34. Her performance featured a steady pace with some notable segments, particularly showing consistency and improvement mid-race. Her splits indicated an initial strong push at Ruxton, achieving a swift pace of 9:34 min/mile over .43 miles, setting a solid foundation early on. Notably, she climbed from 791st to 705th in overall place from the start to the 'Top of W's', showing effective mid-section runs. Shayne maintained significant pace and positional gains until the elevation climb took its toll. Despite fatigue setting in, the split from ‘Ruxton’ to ‘Top of W's’ showcased her ability to handle diverse elevations proficiently. Splits closer to the finish showed increased elapsed pace times, such as 34:49 min/mile during the final .52-mile stretch, a common challenge due to high altitude. Consider practicing altitude-conditioned training to refine performance in high-altitude sections.
