The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Reece Merrick finished in the top 10% of the field at Sharjah 2025, in 1:07:46 for 42nd of 576 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 99% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 66% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:16 ahead of the median. Time in the roxzone, 3:58, was faster than 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sharjah 2025 and Dubai 2024 were 1:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
