Steady First Half, Slowing Finish Alicia Dovin completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent in 5:36:13, covering the 13.36 miles at an average pace of 25:09 min/mile. She maintained a strong start, clocking an impressive 10:47 min/mile at the Ruxton split, but as expected, the higher elevation and challenging terrain above the treeline significantly affected her pace. She showed resilience by managing to stay consistent through the midsections, with split paces around 17:28 at Barr Camp and a slight fluctuation thereafter. The final miles above treeline saw a marked slowdown, with paces reaching up to 37:02 minutes per mile. Alicia maintained a steady progression in the mid-race phases, which shows potential for even pacing with slightly less decline in pace at significant elevations. Her performance placed her 51st in her division and 432nd in her gender, in an event with 2,049 total participants, reflecting a commendable finish in such a demanding race.
