Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Lindsey Clausius #41555 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Lindsey Clausius finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 32:07, an overall pace of 10:21 per mile. Her race unfolded in three distinct chapters: an opening mile of 10:47, a sharp pickup through mile two at 9:02, and a settling third mile of 11:09 to the line. That middle mile stood out as her fastest stretch of the race, showing a clear surge in the race's midsection before easing back toward the finish. Coaching note: the pattern suggests plenty of room to experiment with pacing strategy starting closer to that strong middle-mile rhythm could help smooth out the overall effort. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, the middle-mile surge is a solid marker of fitness worth building from in future training blocks.
