Steady Start Fades Into a Grinding Finish Andrew Wood completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:01:56, an overall pace of 9:59 min/mile. Wood's opening mile was his fastest, clocked at 9:08, and he held close to a 9:13-9:29 min/mile pace through the first three miles. From there, each split gradually slowed, with mile four dropping to 10:35 min/mile and the final mile easing to 10:56 min/mile. That first 5K stretch stands out as the strongest portion of his race, run at a notably quicker clip than the back half. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, maintaining that early rhythm before the gradual fade is a solid foundation. Tightening the pace in the closing miles to more closely match that opening effort could be a worthwhile focus for future 10Ks.
