The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London 2024, Richard Thomas crossed the line in 1:25:48: 801st of 1,637 men, faster than 51% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 76% of the field beaten on the stations, against 25% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:47 quicker than the median and 210th of 1,637. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:17 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.
