The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2023, Alex Mitchell crossed the line in 1:18:45: 135th of 649 men, faster than 79% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 89% of the field beaten on the stations, against 66% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:13 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:33 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Manchester ran slow: the 373 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:09 slower here than at their other races.
