The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jeffrey Fersch finished 149th of 469 men in the Open division at Chicago 2023, in 1:22:02, faster than 68% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 77% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 55% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:37 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:49 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Chicago 2023 and Chicago - North American Open Championship 2023 were 3:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
