The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2023, Luke Hearn crossed the line in 1:16:56: 248th of 1,182 men, faster than 79% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 90% of the field across all eight, against 65% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:03 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:40 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Manchester 2023 were 2:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
