Consistent Performance Up the Ascent Johnny Sena, from Colorado Springs, completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent with an elapsed time of 5:00:48 over a distance of 13.36 miles, achieving a pace of 22:30 minutes per mile. While his time increased slightly compared to the previous year [4:56:55], he maintained a strong rank of 31st in his division of O55-59. Notable splits include a solid start at Ruxton, maintaining a swift pace of 11:16 minutes per mile, and a challenging pace climb to 35:59 minutes per mile at the finish due to the increasing altitude from 6303 to 14061 feet. Throughout the race, Johnny showed a strong resilience in managing altitude changes, particularly from No Name Creek to Barr Camp. He moved up the ranks from starting at 55th in his division to finishing in 31st place. In future races, focusing on pacing strategies to tackle steeper slopes and high altitude could refine his performance and effectively manage the slowing pace in the final miles.
