The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Poznan 2024, Sam Bywater crossed the line in 1:18:50: 257th of 776 men, faster than 67% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 80% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 41% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 1:25 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:38 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Poznan 2024 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:15 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
