Strong Start Fuels a Steady Half Marathon Finish John Myung completed the half marathon in 2:55:22. His pace was quickest over the opening two miles, clocking 11:23 and 11:28, the fastest mile-plus stretch of his race. From there, the pace eased through the middle miles, bottoming out with a 16:09 split at mile 8, before he rallied over the closing miles, dropping to 12:17 and 12:00 for miles 12 and 13 to close strong on the Pearl Street Mall. That mid-race dip came right around the lululemon Power-Up Zone, positioned near mile 9.5 of the half course his splits through miles 9 and 10 (15:38 and 14:49) show him working through that stretch before finding his closing kick. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, that late surge stands out as a strong finishing effort.
