Steady Pacing Capped by a Strong Closing Mile Alex Jones finished in 1:54:18, averaging 8:43 per mile. The race unfolded with remarkable consistencymile splits held in the 8:40s and 8:50s for most of the distance, with a brief dip to 9:04 in the third mile. The final mile was the standout stretch, clocked at 8:00, the fastest full mile of the race and a strong way to close things out.
