He achieved a finish time of 3:40:59, running at an average pace of 8:26 min/mile over 26.2 miles. Between miles 14 and 24, Joe consistently maintained his split pace at around 8:24-8:29 min/mile, showing strong stamina throughout this segment. His strongest split was at mile 14 with a pace of 7:24 min/mile. Joe's finish placed him at 299th overall, 202nd among males, and 40th in his M19-24 division out of 1,393 total participants. Joe showed a commendable ability to maintain a steady pace and demonstrated endurance improvement by completing a full marathon compared to his previous half marathon performance in 2023.
