The race, in words
Stephen Sandford finished 1,558th of 1,865 men in the Open division at London 2023, in 1:43:11.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:13. A harder second half: 2:41 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.
