The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Will Abbatt finished 696th of 1,860 men in the Open division at Sports Direct HYROX London 2024, in 1:19:24, faster than 63% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 70% of the field beaten on the stations, against 49% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:21 quicker than the median and 294th of 1,860. A harder second half: 1:34 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sports Direct HYROX London gave the field time back: about 1:15 faster than the average race this season, by 1,203 athletes who raced both.
