Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Lisa Peters #40723 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Start Fades Late in the 5K Lisa Peters finished her 5K in 27:31, an 8:52 min/mile pace across the 3.1-mile course. Her race built quickly through a 8:19 opening mile, then surged to a 7:47 second mile her fastest of the day before easing to 9:59 over the closing mile, which pulled her cumulative pace back to 8:41 min/mile by the finish. Running the race in Boulder, which sits at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Peters showed her strongest sustained effort in that second mile, dropping her overall pace nearly 40 seconds per mile faster than her opening split. That middle-mile push stands as the highlight of her race, and building a steadier finish to match that early speed could be a worthwhile focus going forward.
