Strong Start Carries Boulder Runner Through Steady Half Nathan Risser finished the half marathon in 1:45:12, an 8:01 min/mile pace across the 13.1-mile course. Risser's opening six miles were his fastest stretch, ticking off roughly 7:30 pace as elapsed time hit 45:16 at the halfway mark of his early miles. From there, pace eased through the middle miles, with mile 11 checking in as his slowest at 8:52, before he found another gear over mile 12 at 8:07. That late surge came right around the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, and though his pace had settled by then, the closing miles held firm through the finish in downtown Boulder a fitting close at over 5,000 feet of altitude.
