Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Roxanne Tanick #26748 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Powers a Strong Half-Marathon Finish Roxanne Tanick completed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:52:08, an 8:34/mile pace. She finished 930th overall and 275th among women in a field of 7,223. Tanick's race showed remarkable consistency, with mile splits hovering between 8:23 and 8:56 for the entire distance. After a brief dip around miles 6 and 8, where pace slowed to 8:46, she rallied over the closing miles, running her fastest full mile of the day from mile 12 to 13 in 8:23. That strong final mile brought her home with a negative-split finish, a good sign of pacing discipline over the second half of the course. Given the steadiness of her effort, she might consider experimenting with a slightly faster start next time to see if it yields an even stronger overall time, though her even effort here is itself a solid template for future half marathons.
