The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sports Direct HYROX London 2024, James Duffy crossed the line in 1:19:39: 708th of 1,860 men, faster than 62% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 73% of the field beaten on the runs, 48% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:25 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:11 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.
