The race, in words
Ryan Ibbotson & Holly Knott finished 250th of 410 mixed teams in the Doubles Open division at Manchester 2024, in 1:21:01.
A station race more than a running one: 64% of the field beaten on the stations, against 30% on the runs. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:16 of the median. A harder second half: 2:13 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Manchester gave the field time back: about 1:07 faster than the average race this season, by 274 teams who raced both.
