Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Edith Rodriguez #31234 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Steady Start Fuels a Determined 5K Finish Edith Rodriguez covered the 5K in 51:53, holding a strong 14:49 pace through the opening mile and nearly matching it at 14:55 through two miles. That early rhythm reflected solid pacing discipline over the first two-thirds of the race. The final mile told a different story, slowing to 20:29 as the cumulative pace settled to 16:44 min/mile by the finish. That opening two-mile stretch remains the highlight of the effort a runner might consider working to sustain that same rhythm deeper into the race next time, especially given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, which adds its own demands to any pace held there.
