The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2024, Thomas Strange crossed the line in 1:12:22: 253rd of 953 men, faster than 74% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 86% of the field beaten on the runs, 52% on the stations. A harder second half: 1:47 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 9:43, ahead of 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2024 and Dublin 2023 were 14:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
