Steady Pace Powers a Top-Tier Half Nolan Mclaughlin finished the half marathon in 1:17:03, placing 24th overall and 22nd among men in a field of 7,223, while taking second in the men's 15-19 division. His mile splits stayed remarkably tight through the race, mostly hovering between 5:42 and 6:11, showing little separation between his fastest and slowest miles despite covering 13.1 miles. His opening mile was his quickest of the day at 5:31, setting an efficient tone that he maintained through the finish, closing the final mile in 5:47. Nolan's split through mile 10 landed near the lululemon Power-Up Zone at approximately mile 9.5, a stretch he handled with the same evenness that defined his race. That consistency, on a course sitting above 5,000 feet in Boulder, reflects a well-paced effort from start to finish.
