The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paul Williams finished 1,072nd of 1,865 men in the Open division at London 2023, in 1:28:14.
A station race more than a running one: 67% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:18. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:36 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London 2023 and London 2022 were 3:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
