The race, in words
Andrew Lush finished 535th of 1,182 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:26:25, faster than 55% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:26 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:42 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:17 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Birmingham ran slow: the 823 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:37 slower here than at their other races. 1:13 slower than at Malaga 2023, the previous Open race.
