The race, in words

A station race more than a running one: 97% of the field beaten on the stations, against 70% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:53 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:42 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Gent gave the field time back: about 1:32 faster than the average race this season, by 556 athletes who raced both.
