Impressive Consistency with Room for Strategic Pacing Improvements Chris Jancosko completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon with an elapsed time of 3:36:32, covering a distance of 13.36 miles. His overall pace was 16:12 min/mile. Chris finished 7th in his division for ages 50-54 and placed 197th overall out of 2049 participants. Notably, despite slight course challenges, he maintained a strong position consistently across his division. The split times reflect a strategic start with a swift pace at Ruxton segment (7:38 min/mile), but his pace understandably decreased as the elevation rose. Particularly in the last quarter, the high altitude sections slowed him down with a final split pace of 25:01 min/mile at the finish line. A focus on pacing strategies, particularly in preparation for high altitude segments, might benefit future aspirations.
