The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matt Sullivan finished 342nd of 649 men in the Open division at Manchester 2023, in 1:31:48.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 28% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:16 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:06 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.
