The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Martin Zandy-Smith finished 290th of 1,865 men in the Open division at London 2023, in 1:14:40, faster than 85% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 91% of the field beaten on the runs, 69% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:14 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:50 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London 2023 and Birmingham 2023 were 4:25 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
