Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Jake Domer #40007 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Jake Domer completed his 5K in 30:39, an overall pace of 9:53 per mile. His race built momentum early, dropping from a 9:24 opening mile to a brisk 8:19 second mile before easing to an 11:56 closing mile, still enough to finish inside the top 30% of his 50-54 age group range at the event. Domer's second mile stood out as his fastest stretch of the day, more than a minute quicker than his opening mile and a strong response after settling into the race. Racing at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet adds a layer of difficulty to any pacing strategy, and his ability to surge mid-race speaks well of his conditioning. A touch more consistency between miles two and three could help him carry that early speed through to the line in future starts.
