The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Devine finished 66th of 576 men in the Open division at Sharjah 2025, in 1:10:42, faster than 89% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:45 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:52 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:17, ahead of 92% 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.
