The race, in words

A station race more than a running one: 80% of the field beaten on the stations, against 55% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 0:35 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 2:55 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London gave the field time back: about 1:53 faster than the average race this season, by 749 teams who raced both.
