The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at London 2023, Benjamin Thomson & Christopher Barnard crossed the line in 1:09:05: 355th of 1,003 men's teams, faster than 65% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 53% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:03 on the median. A harder second half: 1:27 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London gave the field time back: about 1:24 faster than the average race this season, by 678 teams who raced both.
