Steady Pace Yields a Personal Best at Altitude Mike Wilkie crossed the 10K finish in 55:00, trimming 26 seconds off his 2023 Boulderthon time of 55:26 and improving his age-division standing from 12th to 9th. Wilkie's race unfolded with remarkable consistency through the first five miles, holding an 8:35-8:51 cumulative pace and hitting his fastest mile, an 8:17, at mile five. The final mile slowed to 10:08, tempering his overall pace slightly by the finish. Racing through Boulder, which sits above 5,000 feet, Wilkie's ability to maintain a tight pace band for most of the course reflects strong pacing disciplinean approach that could pay further dividends with a touch more reserved effort in the closing mile.
