The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sports Direct HYROX London 2024, Sam Hardy crossed the line in 1:22:18: 846th of 1,860 men, faster than 55% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 72% of the field beaten on the stations, against 41% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:07 quicker than the median and 267th of 1,860. A harder second half: 1:38 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.
