The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alan Cooney finished 600th of 687 men in the Open division at Taipei 2025, in 2:12:18.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:15 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:54 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 12:31 in the roxzone was slower than 90% of the field.
Taipei ran slow: the 375 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:48 slower here than at their other races. That was 4:28 off the time at Dublin 2023.
