The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2023, Kurt Mcdonnell crossed the line in 1:14:14: 155th of 1,182 men, faster than 87% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 93% of the field beaten on the runs, 73% on the stations. The sled pull was where this race was made, 1:26 ahead of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:50 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Manchester 2022 were 3:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
