The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:09:09 at Barcelona 2025 put Paul Harnett on the age-group podium: 3rd of 78 in the 45–49 age group.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:40 quicker than the median and 73rd of 1,106. A harder second half: 2:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2025 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 1:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
