The race, in words
Jack Walker finished 452nd of 649 men in the Open division at Manchester 2023, in 1:38:56.
Legs and stations told different stories: 46% of the field beaten on the runs, 23% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 3:27 behind the median. A harder second half: 6:48 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Manchester ran slow: the 373 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:09 slower here than at their other races.
