Consistent Climb with a Strong Start: Tyler's Pikes Peak Performance Tyler Harwood, a 33-year-old from Boulder, maintained an impressive performance in the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent half marathon. He completed the 13.36-mile course in 3:13:32 with an overall pace of 14:29 min/mile. Tyler's splits reveal a dynamic race strategy, with a strong start from the Ruxton split at a pace of 7:30 min/mile, placing him at an early overall 141st position. Consistency was evident as he held steady placements, finishing 89th out of 2049, and showing progress within his division and gender ranks. The race began to test endurance from Barr Camp at 10250 feet, as paces slightly adjusted over the final miles. The ascent significantly impacted climb rates, especially past the A-Frame split at 11933 feet. Tyler managed these challenges effectively, achieving competitive ranks, finishing 20th in the 30-34 division. Focusing on efficiency in altitude transitions, particularly in the final three miles, could maximize Tyler's future performance.
