Her pace nearly mirrored the 7:13 mile pace she ran in the 2024 Boulderthon 10K, this time sustained across more than double the distance. Albornoz settled into a rhythm through the opening miles before finding her best stretch from miles 4 through 6, clicking off 6:28, 6:33, and 6:45 splits the fastest miles of her race. She held that momentum through the midpoint, passing near the lululemon Power-Up Zone around mile 9.5 at a 7:19 pace before easing slightly, still finishing with her cumulative pace never drifting far from 7:10, a well-managed effort at Boulder's altitude above 5,000 feet.
