The race, in words
Kenny Tam & Maxi Hui finished 384th of 544 men's teams in the Doubles Open division at Hong Kong 2024, in 1:33:14.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. A remarkably even set of stations, none more than 0:18 from the median. A harder second half: 2:18 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Hong Kong ran slow: the 320 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:34 slower here than at their other races.
