The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Francis finished 327th of 440 men in the Open division at Riga 2025, in 1:36:26.
Legs and stations told different stories: 40% of the field beaten on the runs, 14% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 4:17 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:46 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:28 slower at Riga 2025 than at Warsaw 2025, which makes this time better than it looks.
