The race, in words
Mark Yates finished 975th of 1,182 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:45:18.
A station race more than a running one: 31% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:38. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:40 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Birmingham ran slow: the 823 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:37 slower here than at their other races.
