The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:34:33 at Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 put Alex Cooper 1,381st of 1,860 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 6% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:05 on the median. A harder second half: 8:13 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.
