The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at London 2023, Lucian Ficau crossed the line in 1:19:28: 139th of 321 men, faster than 57% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 75% of the field beaten on the stations, against 39% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:39 quicker than the median and 13th of 321. A harder second half: 1:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London gave the field time back: about 1:19 faster than the average race this season, by 182 athletes who raced both.
