Steady Pacing Powers a Strong Half-Marathon Finish Sasha Digiulian finished the half marathon in 1:52:19, a 8:34/mile average pace across the 13.1-mile course. Her early miles settled into a tight band, holding 8:18-8:31 pace through the first six miles before a brief dip to 8:49 and 9:03 in miles seven and eight. She rebounded quickly, and her strongest mile of the race came at mile 12, clocked in 8:12, as she closed with 8:12 and 8:27 miles to finish under 8:35 pace overall. That late surge came not far past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, where her mile-nine split of 8:25 had already signaled the rebound. Running the finish at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Digiulian's ability to close strong after the mid-race slowdown is a good sign of pacing discipline worth building on for future races.
