Strong Front Half Fuels a Steady Marathon Finish Nicholas Briganti covered the Boulderthon Marathon in 4:00:17. He built an efficient front half, reaching the 18-mile mark in 2:25:41 an 8:05 min/mile pace after holding between 7:44 and 8:20 per mile through the first nine miles. That consistency carried him to the 20-mile mark near 8:15 overall pace before the closing 10K slowed considerably, with mile splits climbing into the 12- and 13-minute range through miles 2124. Miles 1 through 18 stand out as his most efficient stretch, sustained near sea-level marathon rhythm despite Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet. That effort carried him right to the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5, where his pace had eased into the low 12s for the stretch before a final push brought him home on the Pearl Street Mall.
