The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Chicago Navy Pier 2024, Brian Desimone crossed the line in 1:27:46: 403rd of 814 men, faster than 51% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 70% of the field beaten on the runs, 32% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:28. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:30 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Chicago Navy Pier 2024 and New York 2024 were 1:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
