The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Los Angeles 2023, Mason Thomson crossed the line in 1:23:41: 143rd of 404 men, faster than 65% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 87% of the field beaten on the stations, against 38% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 2:25 quicker than the median and 5th of 404. A harder second half: 6:12 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Los Angeles gained about 1:52.
