Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Daniel Nauseef #24731 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Build Powers a Strong Finish Daniel Nauseef covered the Boulderthon half marathon in 1:50:33, and the race tells a clear story of building momentum. He opened with a 9:22 first mile, then trimmed his pace steadily through the middle miles, dropping his cumulative average from 8:58 at mile 3 down to 8:26 by the finish. His strongest stretch came late, with a 7:19 mile 12 his fastest full mile of the day setting up a strong final surge to the Pearl Street Mall. That late-race strength lines up well with the course layout: runners pass the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, and Nauseef's pace picked up notably in the miles that followed, suggesting he used that stretch to his advantage. Given that Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, sustaining that kind of negative-split pattern deserves credit.
