The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alec Frost finished 998th of 1,182 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:47:12.
Legs and stations told different stories: 32% of the field beaten on the runs, 9% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 5:24. The race faded late: the second half went 7:44 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Manchester 2023 were 2:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
