The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:16:27 at Glasgow 2023 put Rob Taylor 289th of 974 men in the Open division, ahead of 70% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 85% of the field beaten on the runs, 50% on the stations. Stronger after halfway: 3:57 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 3:39, ahead of 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2023 and Birmingham 2022 were 5:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
