Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Orlando A #41571 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Steady Effort Fades Slightly Over the Final Mile Orlando A completed the 5K in 45:52. With no prior Boulderthon results on record, this stands as his first mark at the distance in this event. His race unfolded as a gradual slowdown: a strong opening mile in 14:21 gave way to 14:45 for the second, and 15:32 for the third, pulling his overall pace to 14:47 min/mile by the finish. That first mile was his standout stretch of the day, run nearly a minute faster than his closing mile. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, holding that early pace as long as he did reflects solid pacing discipline through the middle of the race. A slightly more conservative start could help him sustain that opening rhythm deeper into future 5Ks.
