The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2023, Darren Thompson crossed the line in 1:15:08: 188th of 1,182 men, faster than 84% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 90% of the field beaten on the stations, against 70% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 1:59 quicker than the median and 38th of 1,182. Quick through the roxzone: 4:34, ahead of 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Glasgow 2023 were 1:46 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
