Strong Start Fades Late in Final Mile Juan Lopez completed the 5K in 36:23, finishing 607th among men in a field of 2,677. Lopez opened with two steady miles, covering the first in 10:39 and the second in 10:43, holding a cumulative pace of 10:41 per mile through the halfway point. The final mile slowed to 13:44, pulling his overall pace to 11:44 per mile by the finish. Those opening two miles stand as the strongest stretch of his race, and closing that gap to the final mile could be a focus for next time. He crossed the finish on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a city that sits above 5,000 feet of elevationa factor worth keeping in mind given the pace shift late in the race.
