His average pace was 13:26 min/mile, marked by consistent pacing across most splits. His fastest split was the first mile at 11:34 min/mile, showing a strong start. Over the 13.1-mile race, Victor's pace remained steady, with a slight increase in time at the 10th mile, clocking in at 15:03 min/mile. In the M40-44 division, Victor ranked 162nd among 163 participants, out of 3,859 total participants. While his overall position was 3053rd, it's worth noting the resilience and consistency throughout the race. Encouraging a slightly more strategic approach to managing pace during the latter stages could improve overall performance, as stronger pacing in middle stages might offer more energy reserves for the final few miles. Excellent effort and endurance, Victor. Keep it up!
