The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Lyon-Maris finished 1,041st of 1,182 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:51:21.
The runs carried this race: faster than 35% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 8% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 6:09. A harder second half: 2:23 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Birmingham 2022 were 1:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
