The race, in words

The stations carried this race: faster than 89% of the field across all eight, against 40% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:56 quicker than the median and 83rd of 781. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:29 better against the middle of the field than the first.
