Steady Climb to New Heights Tyler Pedee, age 23 from Kansas City, MO, completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon with an elapsed time of 3:37:40 over a challenging 13.36-mile course. His average pace was 16:17 minutes per mile, finishing 204th overall out of 2049 participants. Notably, Tyler recorded strong early segments with a swift first split at Ruxton, covering 0.43 miles at a remarkable 7:42 pace, indicating a strong start and overtaking positions early on. During the last three miles at higher altitudes, Tyler experienced a slowdown, consistent with the demanding conditions. The split between "A-Frame" and the "Finish" showed larger pace variances from 20:47 to 23:17, all with escalating elevation, demonstrating the race's increasing difficulty. Despite the demanding terrain, his consistent ranking towards the end suggests strong perseverance. Focusing on altitude training could enhance pace retention in future high-elevation races. Keep building on this solid performance!
