Steady Pace Carries Strong Half Marathon Close Axel Nay crossed the half marathon in 2:25:45, an average pace of 11:07 per mile. After an uneven opening mile, he settled into a strong rhythm, holding between 6:44 and 8:05 per mile through the middle and late stages of the race. That consistency built through the second half, with his cumulative pace tightening steadily from mile 8 onward as he pushed toward the finish. His strongest stretch came early, covering miles 2 through 4 at a 6:53 average pace, the fastest sustained mile-plus segment of his race. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Nay closed out on the Pearl Street Mall, capping a well-paced effort through downtown Boulder.
