Notably, Alexander consistently maintained a pace under 7:00 min/mile for the majority of the race. Throughout the race, Alexander demonstrated effective pacing, especially noteworthy with a strong push in the final miles. He managed splits under 7:00 min/mile for eight of the last ten miles, closing with a strong 6:41 min/mile at mile 13.
