Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Drew Eaton #32750 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Start Carries Steady Pace Through the Finish Drew Eaton completed the 10K in 1:08:30, an average pace of 11:03 per mile. Her race unfolded from a brisk opening into a gradual settling of pace over the back half, finishing with control rather than fade. Her first two miles were the standout stretch of the day, covered in 20:21 a 10:10 per-mile pace the fastest sustained running of her race. From there, pace eased mile by mile, closing with an 11:59 final mile as the effort compounded. Racing at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet, that early speed followed by a measured settle reflects sound pacing overall. Going forward, Drew might experiment with holding back marginally in the opening miles to see if it allows the middle and closing miles to stay closer to that early rhythm.
