The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Walker finished 774th of 1,182 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:35:01.
A station race more than a running one: 56% of the field beaten on the stations, against 32% on the runs. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:25 better against the middle of the field than the first. 10:59 in the roxzone was slower than 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Manchester 2023 were 2:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
