Fast Opening Carries Through a Demanding Back Half Jason Smith completed the marathon in 4:00:05, an average pace of 9:09 per mile. He went out briskly, holding a 7:027:15 per-mile pace through the first twelve miles, then eased steadily through the middle of the course. The stretch from mile 18 to 21 brought his most significant slowdown, before he settled back into a more even rhythm over the closing miles to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall. His strongest stretch came early: miles 1 through 12 clicked off at roughly 7:15 per mile, a pace he built and held steady before the course began to take its toll. That opening effort came at altitude Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, a factor worth noting given how quick that early pace was.
