Strong Start Carries Her Through a Steady Half Vickira Hengst finished the half marathon in 1:44:57, an 8:00 min/mile pace across 13.1 miles. Her race built on an efficient early rhythm: after a swift opening mile, she settled into a groove that held largely between 7:42 and 7:52 through the first four miles, the fastest sustained stretch of her race. From there, pace eased slightly and leveled out in the 8:00-8:25 range for the remainder, finishing with a strong final mile at 7:56. Racing at altitude, with Boulder sitting above 5,000 feet, that early consistency stands out the first four miles were the most efficient stretch of her day. She might look to carry that same rhythm a bit further into the middle miles next time, though the overall pacing held admirably steady across the full 13.1 miles into the Pearl Street Mall finish.
