Notably, John ranked 14th in the M60-64 division out of a competitive field. His splits show remarkable consistency, with the standout 9th mile clocked at an impressive 7:05, showcasing his potential for faster-paced segments. Throughout the race, John maintained a relatively steady pace with minor fluctuations. The initial mile clocked in at 9:39, and he successfully quickened his pace during miles 10 and 11. While his final mile split ended strong at 9:17, John's performance could benefit from a more uniform pacing strategy in the latter stages to avoid the significant peak in mile 9 and the subsequent slowdown in mile 10.
