Strong Finishing Kick Powers a Steady Half Tim Nelson covered the Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:47:03, an 8:10/mile pace. His race unfolded in two distinct halves: after an 8:49 opening mile, he settled into a rhythm through the middle miles, dipping as low as 8:01 and drifting as high as 9:20, before shifting gears over the final stretch. From mile 9 to the finish, Nelson turned in some of his fastest running of the race, closing with miles of 7:57, 7:37, 8:10, 7:25 and 7:15 a sustained surge that pulled his overall pace down to 8:10/mile by the finish. That closing effort, at an elevation over 5,000 feet, stands out as the clear highlight of his day and a strong note to build from for his next race in Boulder.
