The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Illingworth finished 300th of 898 men in the Open division at Dublin 2025, in 1:16:18, faster than 67% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 82% of the field beaten on the runs, 47% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 0:45. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:08 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Dublin 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 2:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
