Fast Start Fuels a Steady Finish Thomas Smafield completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 58:16, an overall pace of 9:24 per mile. Smafield opened quickly, covering the first mile in 7:07 before settling into a more measured rhythm. Each subsequent mile slowed slightly, from 8:13 to 10:04 by mile four, before mile five ticked back down to 9:47. The closing mile eased further, reflecting the steady grind of the back half after that brisk opening effort. His strongest mile-plus stretch came early, through mile two, where his cumulative pace was 7:39 per mile. Given the quick opening pace, holding a slightly steadier effort through the middle miles could help even out the overall rhythm in future 10Ks.
