Steady Pace Carries Young Runner Into Top 10% Finish Beckett Fitzsimmons, 18, of Littleton, CO, completed the Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:47:46, finishing 653rd overall and 483rd among men a result inside the top 10% of the field. He opened with his fastest three-mile stretch of the race, clicking off 7:46 per-mile pace before settling into the high 7:50s through the middle miles. His overall pace held remarkably even until an 11th mile hiccup slowed him to 9:43, but he rebounded promptly, closing his final two miles at 8:24 and 8:09 to finish strong. Fitzsimmons's steady effort brought him down Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, the historic finish shared by every distance in the race a fitting stage for a well-paced run at altitude above 5,000 feet.
