The race, in words

The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:01 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:23 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:54 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Taipei ran fast: the 437 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:43 quicker here than at their other races.
