The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Hong Kong 2024, Timothy Hsu crossed the line in 1:22:11: 273rd of 1,011 men, faster than 73% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 59% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:27 quicker than the median and 116th of 1,011. A harder second half: 1:46 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a slow day in Hong Kong. Measured against their other races this season, the people who raced here lost about 1:12.
