Strong Start Fades Into a Steady Finish Michelle Mayakis of Fort Collins finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 58:17. She opened with a swift first mile in 8:21 and held sub-8:45 pace through three miles, reaching the halfway point in roughly 8:25 per mile. The back half slowed steadily, with miles four through six ticking up to 9:31, 10:16, and 11:20, bringing her final pace to 9:24 min/mile. Her fastest mile-plus stretch came early: the opening three miles at 8:25 min/mile average was the strongest segment of the race. With the front-loaded effort in mind, Michelle might consider a more even pacing strategy next time to help preserve speed over the closing miles.
