His best split occurred between miles 1 and 2, improving to 6:24. Notably, his pace gradually slowed until mile 11, where he reached his slowest split of 7:56. Despite these fluctuations, Dom improved his pace in mile 12 with an impressive 6:55 split, showing resilience by gaining significant positions and finishing the race in 1:33:54. Dom maintained a steady overall pace of 7:10 per mile, resulting in a finish of 213th overall out of 6546 participants.
