The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Dublin 2023, Mark Saunderson crossed the line in 1:27:11: 266th of 777 men, faster than 66% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 86% of the field beaten on the runs, 42% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 1:27 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:45 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Dublin 2023 and Manchester 2023 were 2:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
