The race, in words
Ali Williams finished 1,078th of 1,865 men in the Open division at London 2023, in 1:28:26.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 27% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:55 quicker than the median and 131st of 1,865. The race faded late: the second half went 2:26 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
London gave the field time back: about 1:18 faster than the average race this season, by 1,114 athletes who raced both.
