The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paul Bell won the 55–59 age group at Glasgow 2023 in 1:14:40, first of 26.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 50% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:23 on the median. Time in the roxzone, 4:01, was faster than 87% of the field.
Glasgow ran fast: the 654 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:00 quicker here than at their other races. Paul Bell's fastest of 2 finishes in the Open division.
