Strong Early Pace Anchors a Top Finish Emilien Chevalier finished the Half Marathon in 1:32:05, placing 166th overall and 139th among men out of the field of 7,223. That result put him in the top 10% of all participants. Chevalier's race shows a clear shape: the first six miles were run aggressively, from 5:35 to 6:51 per mile, building a strong cushion. Mile 7 brought a sharp adjustment to 8:14, with miles 8 and 9 settling near 8:04-8:07, before he found a steadier rhythm over the closing miles, holding between 6:52 and 7:16 per mile through the finish.
