The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Amanda Merikas finished 174th of 299 women in the Open division at Chicago 2023, in 1:35:47.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 30% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:34 quicker than the median and 36th of 299. A harder second half: 2:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Chicago gave the field time back: about 2:32 faster than the average race this season, by 167 athletes who raced both.
