Date: Sept. 20, 2025 Participant: Yohann Miglis #488 Race: 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles Weather: Chilly start. Heavy winds (tail/cross wind). Sunny at the finish.

Strong Start, Eventual Fatigue: Analyzing Elevation's Toll Yohann Miglis completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent in 4:18:22, running an average pace of 19:20 per mile over 13.36 miles. Starting strong, his initial pace was 8:30 minutes per mile from Start to Ruxton. By Hydro Street, his pace leveled at 10:08 minutes per mile, demonstrating continued energy and focus. Placement improvements were evident early, with ranking rising from 1625 at Start to 314 by Ruxton, illustrating effective early race strategy. However, as Yohann tackled higher altitudes, pace decreased significantly. By the time Yohann reached 0.5 Miles To Go, the pace had slowed to 30:51 minutes per mile. The final stretch to the Finish saw a split pace of 34:36, likely due to altitude's impact at over 14,000 feet. Although slowing in the high-altitude, Yohann's effort is commendable, and future gains might be achieved by refining endurance in the later stages of high-altitude races.
