The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ryan Shiel finished 878th of 1,182 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:39:56.
The stations carried this race: faster than 44% of the field across all eight, against 15% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:00 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:28 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Glasgow 2023 were 1:46 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
