The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Colin Bailey finished 434th of 1,206 men in the Open division at Manchester 2024, in 1:16:37, faster than 64% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 87% of the field beaten on the runs, 36% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:37 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:39 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
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.
