The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David O'Sullivan finished 478th of 898 men in the Open division at Dublin 2025, in 1:23:02.
A station race more than a running one: 84% of the field beaten on the stations, against 17% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:34 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 2:10 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Dublin gave the field time back: about 1:46 faster than the average race this season, by 1,442 athletes who raced both.
