Strong Middle Mile Powers Steady 5K Finish Catherine Barricklow finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 32:59, an overall pace of 10:38 per mile through downtown Boulder to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall. Barricklow opened with a 10:35 first mile, then surged to a 9:18 second mile, the fastest stretch of her race. The closing mile eased to 12:06, bringing her final pace back in line with her opening effort. That middle mile stands out as the highlight of the race a clear gear shift worth noting. If she's looking for a place to build more consistency next time, closing that final mile a bit closer to her early pace could make for an even stronger overall finish.
