Woods maintained an average pace of 9:24 min/mile over the 13.1-mile course. Notably, he started strong with the fastest split at mile four, clocking in at 7:52 min/mile, which helped him improve his standing. Despite some slower miles in the latter half, including a challenging 10:38 min/mile at mile nine, he managed to keep a consistent pace thereafter.
