Her pacing strategy was notable from the start, with a positive split progression. She started strong at an 8:01 min/mile pace in the first mile, then quickly accelerated to her fastest split pace of 6:11 min/mile by mile 7. Her finish saw a controlled deceleration, maintaining a competitive pace throughout. Julie held a consistent position throughout, significantly advancing in the general classification. She went from 684th place overall at the 1-mile mark to finishing 713th out of 2690 participants.
