Consistent Performance at High Elevation Barbara Good completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent in 6:51:03, covering a distance of 13.36 miles with an average pace of 30:46 min/mile. Impressively, she placed 2nd in her F70-74 division amidst a total field of 2049 participants. Starting strong at a lower elevation, Barbara maintained her position in her division consistently throughout the race. Across the course, her pacing displayed steady progress, especially between the "7.8 Summit" and "Barr Camp," where her pace improved to 19:06 min/mile. The above-treeline sections, beginning at "Bottomless Pit," saw more challenging splits, with a peak split pace of 50:29 min/mile near the "2 Miles To Go" marker. Focusing on adapting to the elevation could potentially improve average pace in high-altitude sections. Overall, Barbara's completion in tough conditions with consistent division standing is commendable.
