Consistent Effort Over Challenging Terrain Jason Roudebush demonstrated consistent effort in the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon. Starting from Prairie Village, Kansas, Jason maintained a determined pace and achieved a commendable elapsed time of 5:35:06 for the 13.36-mile climb. This placed him 45th in his division (O55-59) out of a total of 2049 participants. His early strong pace at Hydro Street with a 12:06 min/mile suggests strategic energy management in the lower sections of the race. Progression through the steep terrain above the tree line indicated a marked slowdown, particularly noticeable near Bottomless Pit, where a split pace of 38:58 min/mile reflected the increasing challenge of the altitude and elevation. Jason managed the final stretch efficiently, concluding with a 41:44 min/mile pace. The results highlight a steady performance, especially through the higher altitude sections. Future goals could involve working on pace consistency in the final miles to optimize overall performance.
