Consistent Miles Give Way to a Late Fade Piper Lowrey-Kassel completed the 10K in 58:08, an overall pace of 9:22 per mile. Her race stayed remarkably even through the first three miles, holding between 9:03 and 9:14, before a slight dip to 9:39 in mile four. She then produced her strongest mile of the day, mile five, clocking 9:01, pulling her cumulative pace back down to 9:12. The final mile slowed to 10:21, closing out the race just off her early rhythm. Running at Boulders altitude of over 5,000 feet, Lowrey-Kassels steady first half and strong fifth mile stand out as the highlights of her effort. With no prior Boulderthon results on record, this run establishes a solid baseline pace for future 10K efforts at altitude.
