The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Gay finished 1,141st of 1,182 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 2:10:15.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 9:04 behind the median. A harder second half: 13:33 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 10:53, behind 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Birmingham 2022 were 1:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
