The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Richard Quirke finished 72nd of 623 men in the Open division at Gainful Anaheim 2024, in 1:14:45, faster than 88% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 93% of the field beaten on the runs, 69% on the stations. A harder second half: 1:51 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:56, was faster than 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Gainful Anaheim 2024 and Los Angeles 2023 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
