Steady Ascent with Consistent Progress Felipe completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent half marathon in 2:56:01, covering a distance of 13.36 miles with an average pace of 13:10 min/mile. Starting strong, his early splits highlighted his impressive speed, particularly reaching Ruxton at a 6:34 pace. Throughout the race, Felipe maintained a steady position, reflecting his strategic pace management. The mid-race milestones at "Top of W's" and "No Name Creek" showed consistent efforts with splits of 11:06 and 11:39, respectively. Felipe's notable acceleration is evident from the "1.5 Miles To Go" marker, where his place momentarily improved to 16th overall. The challenging high-altitude stretch saw a natural slowdown, but he still secured a commendable 8th in his division. With slight improvements in pacing during later steep sections, further elevation in rankings could be achieved. Consistency across longer distances is a key takeaway for enhancing future performances on similar terrains.
