Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Caroline Kinsella #22917 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Carries Half Marathoner to a Strong Finish Caroline Kinsella covered the half marathon in 1:46:38, an 8:08 min/mile pace. She opened with a brisk 7:55 first mile, settled into a rhythm through the middle miles, and closed with one of her fastest stretches, dropping to 7:50 for mile 12 before finishing strong. Her pacing stayed remarkably even across the course, with most miles falling between 8:05 and 8:20, showing disciplined control from start to finish. Racing at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet, Kinsella's consistent effort throughout the 13.1 miles reflects strong pacing awareness. If there's one area to consider for future races, it would be sustaining that late-race surge earlier in the middle miles, where a few splits crept closer to 8:30. Otherwise, this was a well-managed, evenly executed performance.
