Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Adam Escudero #41868 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Top-10% Finish Adam Escudero crossed the line in 23:41, an average pace of 7:38 per mile, placing 183rd overall out of 2,677 in the field and 141st among men. That result lands him in the race's top 10 percent. His splits show a race that built momentum before tightening late: an opening mile of 8:13, a sharp drop to 6:35 for mile two his fastest mile of the day then a return to 8:04 to close. That middle-mile surge was the clear high point of his run, pulling his cumulative pace down from 8:13 to 7:23 before settling at 7:36 for the full distance. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, holding that kind of mid-race pace shift is a notable display of pacing control worth building on for future efforts.
