The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sports Direct HYROX London 2024, Carl Harris crossed the line in 1:11:06: 237th of 1,860 men, faster than 87% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 94% of the field beaten on the runs, 72% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 0:48 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:14 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 and London 2023 were 3:34 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
