Consistent Performance with Notable Elevation Challenge Amelia Evans from N Las Vegas tackled the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent, a 13.36-mile event, finishing with an elapsed time of 4:10:38 and an overall pace of 18:45 min/mile. Her performance placed her 464th overall and 103rd in the female category. Impressively, she secured the 15th position in the F30-34 division out of 2049 participants. Compared to her previous attempt in 2024, her pace slightly slowed, but she maintained a strong division placement. A closer look at her splits shows noteworthy details such as a pace of 8:24 min/mile early in the race at Ruxton but gradually decreased to 26:23 min/mile as she climbed to the finish at 14,061 feet. Amelia's performance demonstrates consistent racing ability, maintaining a steady pace and improving in later splits, notably climbing from 236th to finish in 464th place. Though her pace decreased, it was expected given the intense elevation changes. Focus on pacing strategies in upcoming high-altitude races could provide enhanced results.
