Starting with an impressive 7:18 min/mile in the first mile, Jethro maintained a consistent pace, varying between 7:10 to 7:39 min/mile. Despite a brief slowdown to 7:58 min/mile at mile 7, Jethro rebounded well in mile 8 with a 7:18 min/mile split. Jethro's overall time was 1:38:07, achieving a steady average pace of 7:29 min/mile.
