The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Richard Donnelly finished 624th of 1,860 men in the Open division at Sports Direct HYROX London 2024, in 1:17:59, faster than 67% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 80% of the field beaten on the runs, 53% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:50 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:37 better against the middle of the field 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.
