Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Chris Postma #20574 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Finish Seals a Top-Tier Half Chris Postma crossed in 1:23:08, placing 58th overall and 49th among men in the field. After an opening mile at 5:50, he settled into a steady 6:076:20 rhythm through the middle miles, dipping slightly to the high 6:30s-6:39s range from miles 7 through 10 before rallying over the closing miles. His final two miles, covered in 6:16 and 6:19, marked his fastest sustained stretch of the back half, pushing him from 5th to 3rd in his division by the finish. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Postma's pacing discipline showed in the tight band between his slowest and fastest miles. The late surge suggests strong closing strength a pattern worth leaning into earlier next time, if he's looking for negative splits across the full distance.
