The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at Hamburg 2023, Michael Almond & Samuel Bennett crossed the line in 1:10:45: 103rd of 348 men's teams, faster than 70% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 59% on the runs. A harder second half: 2:17 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:57, was faster than 86% of the field.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Hamburg gained about 1:38.
