The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Baier finished 627th of 814 men in the Open division at Chicago Navy Pier 2024, in 1:42:09.
A station race more than a running one: 53% of the field beaten on the stations, against 11% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 0:50 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:41 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Chicago Navy Pier ran fast: the 529 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:28 quicker here than at their other races.
