The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Patrick Mather finished 238th of 1,221 men in the Open division at Dublin 2024, in 1:13:33, faster than 81% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 87% of the field beaten on the runs, 41% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 3:28 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:47 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Dublin 2024 and Birmingham 2024 were 3:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
