Rock-Steady Pacing Carries Her Through 13.1 Miles Jayde Moniz covered the half marathon in 1:51:47, an 8:32 min/mile pace. Her mile splits stayed remarkably tight throughout, opening with an 8:14 first mile and never drifting beyond an 8:50 mile the rest of the way. Cumulative pace held in a narrow 8:28-8:32 min/mile band from mile 3 onward, showing a runner who found her rhythm early and simply maintained it. The strongest stretch came from mile 4 through mile 9, where elapsed pace barely moved, sitting between 8:28 and 8:30 min/mile for six straight miles. That kind of evenness is difficult to produce at altitude, with Boulder sitting above 5,000 feet, and it points to well-managed effort rather than a fast start followed by fading. She finished on the Pearl Street Mall with her pace still intact, a strong sign of pacing discipline worth building on for future half marathons.
