The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ian Lock finished 591st of 1,182 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:28:05.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 38% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:35 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:21 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Birmingham 2022 were 1:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
