The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Philson finished in the top 10% of the field at Manchester 2024, in 59:31 for 14th of 1,206 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:25 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:29 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 3:44, ahead of 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2024 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 3:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
