The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Hind finished 752nd of 1,182 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:33:57.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 18% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:05 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:37 better against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 1:46 slower at Birmingham 2023 than at Glasgow 2023, which makes this time better than it looks.
