His performance across the six-mile distance showcased some variability in pace. Notably, Mile 2 showed the slowest split at 14:24 min/mile, whereas Mile 5 revealed a significant improvement with a split of 11:34 min/mile, the event's fastest. His overall rank was 1547 out of 2428 participants, placing him 35th in the M45-49 category. Comparing his past performances, Rodrigo maintained a similar overall time with his 2025 appearance but showed potential from his past races where he achieved a faster pace at times. Fine-tuning his initial pacing strategy may help bridge this consistency gap. His endurance remained steady, but a stronger start similar to Mile 5 could enhance his overall time. Many participants find success in integrating interval training to maintain higher initial momentum. Keep building on strengths and honing the pacing for future improvements.
