The race, in words
In the Open division at Dubai 2024, Alex Cutts crossed the line in 1:21:44: 152nd of 361 men, faster than 58% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 68% of the field beaten on the runs, 41% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:42 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:52 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Dubai gave the field time back: about 4:16 faster than the average race this season, by 148 athletes who raced both.
