The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Barrie Barnadier finished 567th of 649 men in the Open division at Manchester 2023, in 1:53:32.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:12 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Manchester cost the whole field time: about 3:09 more than the average race this season, going by 373 athletes who raced both. That was 12:41 off the time at London 2022.
