The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Stephen Roycroft finished 529th of 777 men in the Open division at Dublin 2023, in 1:40:23.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 25% on the runs. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 0:42. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:41 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Dublin ran slow: the 476 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 5:09 slower here than at their other races.
