The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jonathan Bates finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2023, in 1:09:07 for 54th of 1,182 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 2:10 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:47 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Birmingham 2022 were 1:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
