Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Krista Bristow #30832 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Pace Through the Middle, Strong Mile Five Surge Krista Bristow completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 58:51, an overall pace of 9:29 per mile. Her race unfolded in a controlled, even rhythm through the first four miles, holding between 9:23 and 9:47 per mile, before a notable pickup in mile five, clocked at 8:42 her fastest mile of the race. She eased slightly in the closing mile to bring things home. That fifth-mile surge stands out as the highlight of her effort, a clear gear shift after miles of consistent pacing. Finishing on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, Bristow capped her race at over 5,000 feet of elevation, a solid effort under Boulder's thinner air. Her pacing discipline through the first two-thirds of the course, followed by that late injection of speed, reflects strong control and a well-managed race overall.
