The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:34:35 at Manchester 2023 put Simon Butlin 383rd of 649 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 60% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 4:41 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 8:28 in the roxzone was slower than 85% of the field.
Manchester ran slow: the 373 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:09 slower here than at their other races. 5:44 slower than at London 2022, the previous Open race.
