Notably, his mile 15 split time of 6:29 evidenced significant acceleration, culminating in a strong push as he entered the latter stages of the race. Despite initial placements outside the top 100, Tristan's strategic pace allowed for a steady climb in ranks. After starting at 166th overall, he advanced to finish 29th out of 2517 participants. Highlighting his performance, he placed exceptionally well in his division, securing 9th in the M30-34 category.
