She opened with a 10:02 first mile, then picked up the pace to 9:37 through mile twoher fastest mile of the racebefore easing to a 12:05 close, settling her overall pace at 10:30 per mile. Boulder's elevation sits above 5,000 feet, a backdrop worth noting given the pace shift in that final mile. Schliepp's middle-mile surge stands out as the highlight of her race, showing a strong ability to build speed once warmed up. Consider working on sustaining that middle-mile energy through the final stretch to even out the closing pace in future races.
