The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at New York 2024, Daniel Shields & Gary Kershner crossed the line in 1:07:28: 87th of 308 men's teams, faster than 72% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 79% of the field beaten on the runs, 47% on the stations. A remarkably even set of stations, none more than 0:17 from the median. A harder second half: 1:09 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced New York gained about 1:43.
