The race, in words
In the Open division at London 2023, John Gibson crossed the line in 1:25:49: 916th of 1,865 men, faster than 51% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 38% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:57 on the median. A harder second half: 1:17 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London gave the field time back: about 1:18 faster than the average race this season, by 1,114 athletes who raced both.
