The race, in words

A station race more than a running one: 96% of the field beaten on the stations, against 51% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:10 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:16 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Birmingham gained about 0:52.
