Even Pace Through 13.1, Capped by a Closing Surge Katie Sauer completed the half marathon in 1:52:52, holding an 8:36 per mile pace. Her mile splits stayed remarkably consistent through the middle miles, hovering between 8:26 and 9:05, keeping her cumulative pace within a narrow 8:398:48 band for most of the race. She closed with her fastest mile of the day, covering mile 12 in 7:56, then maintained that strength to the line. That late surge came right around the lululemon Power-Up Zone, positioned near mile 9.5 on the half marathon course a fitting spot for Sauer to find her sharpest gear before finishing strong in downtown Boulder, a city sitting above 5,000 feet of elevation.
