The race, in words
1:40:10 at Sharjah 2025 put Mahmoud Maatouk 454th of 576 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 42% of the field beaten on the stations, against 14% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:22 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:22 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sharjah gave the field time back: about 1:19 faster than the average race this season, by 173 athletes who raced both.
