The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gareth Mason finished 1,294th of 1,865 men in the Open division at London 2023, in 1:33:59.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 18% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:56 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:51 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.
