Negative Splits Power a Strong Finish Juan finished the 10K in 55:21, an average pace of 8:55 per mile. Her mile splits tightened steadily from 9:24 in the opening mile down to 9:08 by mile three, showing an even, controlled build through the first half of the race. The fifth mile stood out as her fastest of the day, clocked at 8:03, before she settled into a strong 8:49 close to the line. That late surge reflects well on her pacing strategy, saving her quickest running for when it counted most. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, finishing on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, Juan's steady improvement across the distance points to solid conditioning worth building on for next time.
