The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Loudon finished 269th of 1,182 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:18:03, faster than 77% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 85% of the field beaten on the stations, against 57% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 2:47 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:30, ahead of 91% 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.
