Alex displayed consistency throughout the race, particularly notable between miles 7 and 13, where the pace consistently stayed around 8:40 min/mile. The fastest mile was recorded at mile 7 with an impressive split of 8:04. Significant improvement in placement in later miles, with better positions between miles 4-15, indicates effective early pacing.
