Consistent Performance with Strong Early Splits Elizabeth LeCompte completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent in a time of 5:10:27, demonstrating impressive consistency throughout. Starting strong, Elizabeth’s initial split from the Start to Ruxton shows a swift pace of 9:33 min/mile, positioning her 205th in the gender category. She maintained a steady effort, completing the Hydro Street segment with a split pace of 12:49 min/mile, which demonstrates strong pacing during the early stages at an elevation of approximately 6649 feet. As the course progressed, the challenging elevation gain influenced Elizabeth’s splits, particularly from Bottomless Pit to the Finish, where split paces ranged from 24:58 to 33:55 min/mile. Despite these changes, she displayed remarkable resilience, maintaining a steady position in the division. While her finish time placed her 49th in her division, this performance suggests she executed the tougher segments effectively. Monitoring pacing strategies in high-altitude segments could potentially enhance her future race experiences.
