The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Samuel Massey finished 228th of 361 men in the Open division at Dubai 2024, in 1:28:09.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 26% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:58 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:05 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Dubai gained about 4:16.
