Starting at an elevation of 6303 feet, he climbed to 14061 feet by the finish, taking on significant altitude challenges. Geoffrey started strong, moving up from 654th in his division at the start to 19th by the finish among competitors aged 45-49. Noteworthy were his splits between "Hydro Street" and "7.8 Summit," where he held a pace around 13:00 to 14:00 minutes per mile before slowing in the final miles. His consistent climb to Barr Camp and a pacing adjustment in higher elevations were evident as the pace reduced to around 25:00 minutes per mile nearing the summit. Geoffrey’s overall placement at 266 out of 2049 participants showcases a commendable effort against the altitude and terrain challenges. Consider strategizing around the steeper final miles for future events.
