The race, in words

A station race more than a running one: 89% of the field beaten on the stations, against 47% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 0:52 quicker than the median and 86th of 887. A harder second half: 1:23 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London Olympia gave the field time back: about 1:22 faster than the average race this season, by 1,146 teams who raced both.
