Consistent Performance in Challenging Conditions Joey Teter completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent with an impressive elapsed time of 2:46:10, covering the 13.36-mile distance at an average pace of 12:26 per mile. Notably, he secured 1st place in his division (O35-39) and 24th overall out of 2049 participants. Maintaining steady progress, Joey showed consistent performance despite the notoriously grueling course, starting at a remarkable pace of 6:00 per mile at Ruxton. Over the Homerun race, he navigated the elevation gaining from 6303 to 14061 feet. Compared to the previous year's Pikes Peak Ascent, Joey’s time was slightly slower by 2:07, yet he improved his division rank notably from 4th to 1st. The last miles were challenging with split paces dropping from 13:17 to 18:35 due to increased altitude and fatigue. Joey's progress through consistent pacing, especially in earlier sections like Top of W's at 10:56 and Barr Camp at 10:17, underscores his solid race strategy.
