Strong Early Pace Fuels Steady Half Marathon Finish Garrett Anacker completed the half marathon in 1:52:13, an 8:33/mile average pace. His race unfolded in two distinct halves: the first 6 miles clicked by in 49:02, an 8:10/mile pace, before a stretch of mile 7 through 11 slowed to the 8:569:21 range. He rallied over mile 12 at 8:16/mile, showing he had more to give late, before easing to the finish. That opening 6-mile stretch stands as the standout section of the day, holding sub-8:15 pace even as Boulder's elevationover 5,000 feetadds a real test to early rhythm. With a solid aerobic base evident in those first miles, Garrett could look to carry that intensity a bit further into the back half next time out.
