The race, in words
Paul Metcalfe finished 1,015th of 1,865 men in the Open division at London 2023, in 1:27:28.
A station race more than a running one: 63% of the field beaten on the stations, against 27% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:50. A harder second half: 1:22 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 London gained about 1:18.
