Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Saheel Sharma #32217 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Quick Start Gives Way to a Tougher Back Half Saheel Sharma finished the 10K in 56:51, an overall pace of 9:10 per mile. Sharma opened fast, clicking off the first mile in 7:45, then settled into a steadier rhythm through the middle miles as the pace eased toward 8:36 by mile four. A brief rebound followed, with mile five ticking in at 9:04, before the final mile slowed to 11:34, pulling the cumulative pace back to 9:10 at the finish. That opening mile stands out as the strongest stretch of the race, more than a minute per mile quicker than the closing stages. With Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet as a backdrop, Sharma might consider a slightly more even early pace next time to help sustain that early speed deeper into the race.
