Steady Performance and Improved Speed Jeremy Liao completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with a final time of 1:42:06, improving his pace from the previous years Boulderthon. His average pace of 7:47 min/mile showed consistency across the race, with splits ranging between 7:18 and 8:16 min/mile. Notably, Jeremy managed to increase his pace in the second mile to 7:18 min/mile, showcasing his potential for maintaining strong early race speed. This improvement from last years pace of 7:53 min/mile is commendable. Throughout the half marathon, Jeremy's placing shifted significantly. At mile 5, he moved up to 246th overall but eventually settled at 444th out of 6546 participants, placing 53rd in his division. This slight drop in position suggests an area to focus on maintaining speed during the mid-race stages. Jeremys ability to hold a steady pace after some slower middle splits could serve as a valuable experience for future performance improvements.
