The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2023, Gerard Hargreaves crossed the line in 1:23:13: 427th of 1,182 men, faster than 64% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 82% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 43% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:46 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:53 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Manchester 2023 were 2:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
