Consistent Pacing and Top Division Finish Alan demonstrated remarkable consistency throughout the race. He showed a strong start with a first-mile pace of 6:02, maintaining near-consistent pacing across all splits with only minor variations. His quickest mile was the sixth, clocking in at 5:47. His splits consistently kept him at the forefront of his division, securing 1st place in the M19-24 category in every mile. Alan's overall time of 37:35 resulted in an impressive overall pace of 6:03. While Alan finished 7th overall among 2114 participants and maintained a top position among males, breaking into the top ranks requires focusing on tighter split management, especially around the 2nd mile, where his pace slightly increased to 6:25. Encouragingly, his sprint finish ability, as observed in the final miles, is a strong asset. Keeping that energy throughout may further enhance his overall performance in future races.
