The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Stuart Holt finished 596th of 649 men in the Open division at Manchester 2023, in 1:59:30.
A station race more than a running one: 27% of the field beaten on the stations, against 4% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:05. A harder second half: 16:28 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.
