Consistent Performance with Strategic Splits Corby Felsher, age 56 from Denver, finished the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent with an elapsed time of 5:37:25. The race covered a total distance of 13.36 miles at an average pace of 25:15 min/mile. Notably, in the O55-59 division, Corby ranked 46th overall among 2049 participants. The event challenged with elevations from 6303 feet to 14061 feet, contributing to a strategic approach in tackling such terrain. Analyzing the splits, Corby maintained competitive mid-race placement with highlights at Barr Camp (7.91 miles) where he ranked 39th in the division and sustained momentum. His split pace saw a varied range, with a notable quick segment between Hydro Street (1.23 miles at 14:51) and a slower, more strategic pace near the finish. Comparing the performance to the previous year's time of 5:22:52, there's an opportunity to work on pacing consistency. However, Corby's ability to navigate the challenging course effectively remains noteworthy.
