The race, in words
William Mooney finished 440th of 576 men in the Open division at Sharjah 2025, in 1:38:14.
A station race more than a running one: 38% of the field beaten on the stations, against 18% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 2:06 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:14 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Sharjah gained about 1:19.
