His overall time was 3:34:14, averaging an 8:10 min/mile pace across the 26.2-mile course. Notably, splits between miles 3 to 4 and 7 to 10 were among his fastest, with a standout split at mile 7, clocking a pace of 6:40 min/mile. Although he finished 1095th overall out of 2690 participants, his effort was consistent, with his place in the M55-59 division shifting between 35th and 55th through the race.
