Steady Build From a Cautious Opener to a Strong Closing Kick Vito Russell finished the half marathon in 1:47:55, an 8:14 min/mile average. He opened at 9:03 for the first mile, then trimmed his pace through the middle miles, reaching an elapsed average near 8:20 by mile 10. His strongest stretch came from miles 9 through 12, where he covered four miles in roughly 31:09, an average of about 7:47 per mile, capped by a 7:26 split in mile 12 his fastest of the race. That surge carried him past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5 at his best sustained pace of the day. Like every half marathon finisher, he closed out on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a city sitting above 5,000 feet a solid finish built on a well-managed second half.
