The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Martin Cross finished 872nd of 1,206 men in the Open division at Manchester 2024, in 1:29:22.
The runs carried this race: faster than 45% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 21% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:21 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:30 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.
