Strong Closing Mile Seals Steady Half Cooper Hollis finished the half marathon in 1:53:48, an 8:41 min/mile pace. He opened with back-to-back miles under 8:40, settled into the high 8:40s through the middle of the course, then surged over the closing miles capped by an 8:10 final mile, his fastest of the race. That finishing kick followed a stretch through mile 9 into mile 10 where his pace dropped to 8:21, right around where the course passes the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5 of the half. After a brief rise to 8:55 in mile 11, he closed with 8:32 and 8:10 to end on his strongest note. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, that final mile stood out as the highlight of his race.
