For the first two miles, John kept a steady pace at 11:51 min/mile, which is commendable for maintaining consistency early on. His initial placement was 1068th overall and 518th among males, marking an effective start. As the race continued, John's pace varied slightly, averaging a final pace of 12:00 min/mile. Notably, he managed to improve his division placement, moving from 45th to 35th in the third mile.
