The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Richard Simpson finished 1,112th of 1,585 men in the Open division at Paris 2024, in 1:34:22.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:39 slower than the median. A harder second half: 5:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 2:47 faster at Paris 2024 than at Birmingham 2024, a quicker course than most.
