Steady Pace Through Boulder Nets Strong Overall Finish Riley Phillips completed the marathon in 3:50:14, placing 236th overall and 193rd among men out of the field of 3,305. After an efficient opening mile near 8:31, he settled into a rhythm in the low 8:10s per mile through the middle of the race, holding that pace with remarkable consistency before the final 10K brought some fatigue, with splits drifting into the 9:4511:20 range before a strong closing mile back near 9:43. His most efficient stretch came between miles 9 and 17, where he covered eight miles at a steady 8:15 pace, the most even segment of his day. That stretch of the course carried him toward the Boulder Reservoir and county backroads before the marathon's final miles brought him past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5 and on to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall, completed at over 5,000 feet of elevation.
