The race, in three figures
The race, in words
William Spinks finished 1,554th of 1,865 men in the Open division at London 2023, in 1:43:01.
A station race more than a running one: 32% of the field beaten on the stations, against 11% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:32 behind the median. A harder second half: 7:45 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.
