The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at New York 2024, Sam Preston crossed the line in 1:23:09: 312th of 895 men, faster than 65% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 52% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:18 quicker than the median and 201st of 895. A harder second half: 3:40 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
New York gave the field time back: about 1:39 faster than the average race this season, by 551 athletes who raced both.
