The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Dublin 2025, Noel Bolger crossed the line in 1:09:26: 126th of 898 men, faster than 86% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 96% of the field beaten on the runs, 67% on the stations. Stronger after halfway: 1:28 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 3:29, was faster than 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Dublin 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 2:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
