He completed the 13.1-mile course in 2:00:51, with a steady average pace of 9:13 min/mile. Through the race, Tim remarkably improved his pace from an early pace of 9:38 min/mile to 9:04 min/mile in the final mile. His pacing strategy helped him finish 30th in his M55-59 division out of a competitive field, demonstrating consistent pace management. Throughout the race, Tim made significant progress in maintaining and improving his pace. His most notable splits came between miles 7 and 8, where he achieved his fastest split pace of 8:40 min/mile.
