Consistent Pace With Notable Mid-Race Slowdown Will Burken delivered a steady performance at the 2025 Boulderthon 10K representing team Electric Boogaloo. He completed the race in 1:01:59, averaging a pace of 9:59 min/mile. The race began strongly with consistent splits of 9:38 for the first two miles, where Will held the 783rd place overall, 407th in his gender, and 76th in his division. However, there was a notable slowdown in the third mile, clocking 19:40, which resulted in a slight drop in division placement to 81st. Will regained his pace towards the end, with the last three miles averaging around a 10-minute mile. He finished 758th overall out of 2428 participants, and 82nd in the M25-29 division. Compared to his previous half marathon performance in the 2024 Boulderthon with a 9:12 pace, theres an opportunity to work on maintaining pace consistency throughout future races, particularly by focusing on the transition after the initial miles.
