The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:38:29 at London 2024 put Mike Smith 1,277th of 1,637 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 1:02 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London 2024 and London 2023 were 2:13 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
