Consistent Pacing with Strong Mid-Race Surge Tim Sovay completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with a final time of 1:31:53, averaging a consistent pace of 7:00 min/mile. Of particular note was his performance between miles four and five, where he recorded his best division place, moving up to 2nd in the M45-49 category by achieving a swift 6:47 minute split. His initial mile pace of 6:49 minutes set a solid starting foundation, maintaining steady effort throughout the race. Sovay's pace remained consistently just under or at the 7:00 min/mile mark for the remaining distance, with slight increases during later miles. In the overall field, he finished 177th out of 6546 participants and maintained a steady division placement, finishing 6th in his age group. A focus on maintaining the momentum from his strong middle miles into the latter portion of races could yield further improvements in both pace and placement.
