The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Christopher Rowley finished in the top 10% of the field at Sports Direct HYROX London 2024, in 1:02:57 for 23rd of 1,860 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:14 on the median. A harder second half: 1:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 3:27, ahead of 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 and Berlin 2024 were 3:02 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
