His performance was particularly notable during the second half of the race, where pacing improved markedly compared to the earlier miles. David's splits reveal a clear adjustment strategy. Starting with a pace of 14:01 min/mile, his fastest mile was Mile 13 clocked at 9:51 min/mile. This finish suggests solid endurance and a capacity to push through fatigue toward the end.
