Steady Ascent and Strong Finish at Elevation Maggie Duffy successfully completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent with an impressive time of 3:51:24 over a distance of 13.36 miles. Her average pace of 17:19 minutes per mile reflects the progressive challenge as she climbed from an elevation of 6,303 feet to a peak of 14,061 feet. The toughest part of the race, the last three miles, saw her pace slow down due to extreme elevation, recording her slowest split pace of 24:21 min/mile. Maggie started strong, moving up quickly from her initial placement of 1105 to 280 overall by the Ruxton check point. Notably, she maintained her position effectively between the 7.8 Summit and Barr Camp, showing consistent pacing. She held firm in the top rankings among her F20-24 division seamlessly until the finish. Her ability to regain a faster pace coming out of "1.5 Miles To Go" split was commendable; emphasize continuing this endurance and pace strategy in upcoming events.
