Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Emily Shemwell #32110 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

A Steady Grind Through the Rockies' Thin Air Emily Shemwell completed the 10K in 1:38:17, an elapsed pace of 15:51 per mile. Her race opened briskly with a 12:18 opening mile, the fastest stretch of her day, before the pace eased steadily through the middle miles, bottoming out at 17:40 for mile four. She found a bit more rhythm in mile five before the closing mile slowed further, capping a race that gradually decelerated after a strong start. Running at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Shemwell's early mile stands out as her strongest push of the day, a pace she wasn't able to fully sustain as the run progressed. Future efforts might focus on holding closer to that opening rhythm through the middle miles, when the pace loosened most noticeably.
