Strong Finishing Kick Seals a Top-10% Half Marathon Result Elizabeth Tripp finished the half marathon in 1:47:26, an 8:12 min/mile pace, placing 636th overall and 167th among women in a field of 7,223. Tripp opened conservatively, settling near 8:50 per mile through the first six miles before easing into the 8:20s and 8:30s through the middle stretch. From there she built steadily, and her final two miles stood out as the strongest of the race covered at roughly 7:16 per mile, a sharp jump from her earlier pacing. That closing surge, run at Boulder's altitude above 5,000 feet, capped a race that got progressively faster mile over mile into the finish on the Pearl Street Mall.
