Beginning with a solid opening mile of 5:50, he maintained a sub-6-minute pace through the first three miles. His fastest mile came at mile 4 with a split of 5:38. Aaron's consistency in the initial stages set a strong foundation, as he held positions near the top ten in both overall and gender categories. As the race progressed, splits slightly increased, with the 11th mile clocking at 7:00, but Aaron skillfully managed his overall position.
