Consistent Performance on a Demanding Course Austin Frey completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent with an elapsed time of 4:33:03, covering a distance of 13.36 miles at an average pace of 20:26 min/mile. Starting strong, Austin maintained solid placement at No Name Creek, positioned at 367th overall, 297th in gender, and 56th in the division. The final miles above the tree line were notably challenging. The pace slowed progressively with the highest split being 38:30 min/mile between "2 Miles To Go" and "1.5 Miles To Go," reflecting the impact of high altitude and steep incline. Elevation peaked at 14,061 feet. Austin's performance metrics suggest a good start, but emphasis on pacing strategies for the elevation challenges in the final miles could yield improvements in future events. The ability to maintain placement amidst the overall athlete field was commendable. Congratulations on completing this challenging ascent.
