The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2023, Chris Smith crossed the line in 1:19:58: 333rd of 1,182 men, faster than 72% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:32 on the median. A harder second half: 1:22 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Glasgow 2023 were 1:46 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
