The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:29:25 at Berlin 2024 put Gareth Bottomley 747th of 953 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 12% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 1:50 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 15:24 in the roxzone was slower than 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2024 and Birmingham 2023 were 13:10 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
