Notably, West secured 1st place in the Male 45-49 division in a field of 3,445 participants.

During the race, West maintained a strong position, frequently leading or placing in the top ranks in his gender and overall. There was some variation in mile 3 and between miles 6 and 9 with slower paces, but he rebounded effectively. The final miles saw a steady pace under 6:03 min/mile, with a record sprint in the last mile at a 4:26 min/mile pace. Consider focusing on endurance consistency for sustained speed in the latter half of the race. Excellent effort and division victory!
