Starting strong at the top of his division early on, Bradley's position at the "Start" was 8th in his division and 138th in gender overall. Despite a challenging course, he managed to maintain a steady position, finishing 48th in the O55-59 division out of 2049 participants. During the race, Bradley encountered slower paces as the elevation increased. Notably, his fastest pace was at the "Ruxton" section at 11:18 min/mile. The "1 Mile To Go" segment saw significant elevation at 13,329 feet, where his split time increased to 29:12, indicative of the high altitude challenge. Nevertheless, Bradley pushed through and finished the ascent, demonstrating perseverance and determination at high altitude. Moving forward, focusing on uphill endurance could better his time further.
