The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:26:36 at London 2023 put Mark Blair 1,856th of 1,865 men in the Open division.
On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 8:20. A harder second half: 8:20 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 10:14 in the roxzone was slower than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London 2023 and London 2022 were 3:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
