Strong Start Fuels a Top-Tier Half Marathon Finish Leslie Henny placed 189th overall and 34th among women in the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon, crossing in 1:33:24 (7:07/mile pace). Henny's race showed a clear two-phase shape: her first six miles clicked off between 6:45 and 6:52, holding a tight 6:49 average pace through the 10K mark. From there, effort eased slightly, with per-mile splits settling into the 7:09-7:38 range over the back half. That opening six-mile stretch stands as the strongest of her race, banking time that carried her through to a finish on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder a course that sits over 5,000 feet in elevation. Given the early pace discipline, she might consider a touch more reserve for the closing miles in future efforts, though the overall result speaks to a well-paced, well-executed race.
