The race, in words

A station race more than a running one: 80% of the field beaten on the stations, against 48% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:56 on the median. A harder second half: 1:56 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Auckland cost the whole field time: about 5:17 more than the average race this season, going by 276 athletes who raced both.
