Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Ted Hattemer-Maier #26733 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Middle Miles Fuel a Strong Closing Kick Ted Hattemer-Maier covered the half marathon in 1:51:55, an 8:32/mile pace. After an even opening two miles near 8:13, his rhythm dipped briefly at mile 3 before settling back into the low 8:20s through the middle miles. A fatigue point surfaced at mile 11 (9:21) and mile 12 (9:16), but he answered with an 8:22 closing mile to bring it home. His strongest stretch came from miles 8 through 10, averaging roughly 8:08 per mile the fastest three-mile stretch of his race. That surge came right around the course's lululemon Power-Up Zone, positioned near mile 9.5 of the half, a fitting spot for his best sustained running of the day. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, that kind of mid-race pace is a strong marker to build from.
