The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:57:43 at London 2023 put Paul Payne 1,770th of 1,865 men in the Open division.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 3:51. A harder second half: 3:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London 2023 and Birmingham 2022 were 4:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
