The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2023, Lee Randall crossed the line in 1:26:35: 543rd of 1,182 men, faster than 54% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 64% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:16 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 2:31 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
