Even Pace, Strong Finish in Boulder Zachary Sherman crossed in 1:25:21, good for 82nd overall and 71st among men in the field of 7,223. That result placed him inside the top 10% of finishers. His mile splits held a tight band through the middle of the race, hovering between 6:29 and 6:48 from mile 4 through mile 10. The final two miles were his strongest stretch, covering miles 12-13 in a combined 6:14 pace per mile, well under his overall 6:30 pace, showing a well-timed surge toward the Pearl Street Mall finish. Given Boulder's altitude above 5,000 feet, that closing kick stands out as the highlight of the race.
