Strong Start Carries Through Two Solid Miles Finishing the 5K in 36:24, this 51-year-old runner opened with real consistency, clicking off the first mile in 10:37 and the second in 10:39 a well-paced, steady effort through two-thirds of the race. The final mile slowed to 13:51, shifting the overall pace to 11:42 per mile by the finish, but the even pacing through the opening two miles stands out as the strongest stretch of the day. Boulder's elevation, over 5,000 feet, adds weight to any effort on foot, and this race capped off with the traditional finish on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder. Holding pace through the first two miles before the late fade is a solid foundation a touch more finishing strength in that last mile could bring the overall time down without changing anything about the strong start.
