The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:43:26 at Birmingham 2023 put Gareth Bottomley 937th of 1,182 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 39% of the field beaten on the stations, against 12% on the runs. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:56. A harder second half: 2:46 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.
