The race, in words

Legs and stations told different stories: 44% of the field beaten on the runs, 14% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:00. A harder second half: 3:32 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.
