Consistent Performance On A Demanding Course Briton Schiewe completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent half marathon with a total elapsed time of 4:17:55, covering a distance of 13.36 miles at an average pace of 19:18 per mile. He finished 533rd overall out of 2049 participants, marking a significant climb from the starting ranking of 1542. Notably, Briton's performance was consistent, with placement improving from earlier segments despite challenging altitudes towards the latter part of the race. Analyzing the splits, Briton showed a solid start at Ruxton with a split pace of 9:49, gaining momentum as the elevation increased to 6355 feet. The steep ascent further up to 14061 feet saw a slower pace with the final split at 28:26. The climb from No Name Creek at 8734 feet to the finish line was evenly paced, demonstrating strength in the second half. Maintaining even splits on such terrain is commendable. Future strategies could focus on pace optimization in the final miles to enhance performance further.
