The race, in words
Chris Spinks finished 414th of 649 men in the Open division at Manchester 2023, in 1:36:48.
Legs and stations told different stories: 52% of the field beaten on the runs, 23% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:56 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:18 worse 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.
