Steady Progression through the Ascent Nathan Landry completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon with an elapsed time of 5:23:35, averaging a pace of 24:13 min/mile across the 13.36-mile course. Notably, Nathan's performance remained consistent across various elevation points, beginning with a fast initial split at Ruxton of 9:56 min/mile, and then maintaining a split pace under 20 minutes per mile up to Barr Camp. Beyond Barr Camp, fatigue and steep inclines saw Nathan's pace adjusted to longer split times. The segment from A-Frame to 2 Miles To Go was particularly challenging, featuring a significant pace reduction to 45:09 min/mile. However, he successfully navigated these high-elevation challenges and displayed determination by completing the final mile with a split pace of 35:13 min/mile. Continued effort on pacing strategies, particularly in the final miles, will help improve future performances. Overall, Nathan's Pikes Peak Ascent shows a commendable ability to manage participant and course demands effectively.
