The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sports Direct HYROX London 2024, Ben Soanes crossed the line in 1:19:20: 694th of 1,860 men, faster than 63% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:36 quicker than the median and 79th of 1,860. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:25 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:42 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
