The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:24:07 at Sharjah 2025 put Gary Kierans 572nd of 576 men in the Open division.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 10:00. The race faded late: the second half went 10:45 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 13:36 in the roxzone was slower than 96% of the field.
Sharjah ran fast: the 173 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:19 quicker here than at their other races. That was 20:06 off the time at Doha 2024.
