Strong Opening Miles Power a Top-5% Finish Elisa Brear crossed the line in 1:40:02, placing 359th overall out of the field of 7,223 and 72nd among women a result inside the top five percent of the field. Her race built steadily through downtown Boulder before settling into rhythm: the first six miles were her strongest stretch, holding between 7:14 and 7:28 per mile and anchoring her overall pace of 7:38 per mile. The middle miles eased slightly, dipping to an 8:35 split at mile 11, before she closed with a 7:33 mile 12 to sharpen her finish. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, that early consistency stands out as the clearest strength of her race, and a touch more evenness late could sharpen the closing miles next time.
