A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 59% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:07 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:16 better against the middle of the field than the first.
London ran slow: the 1,496 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:32 slower here than at their other races.
