The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Sykes finished 948th of 1,248 men in the Open division at Hamburg 2024, in 1:36:08.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 11% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:32 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:45 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Hamburg ran fast: the 910 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:42 quicker here than at their other races. That was 7:12 off the time at London 2023.
