The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2023, Helen Harper crossed the line in 1:33:16: 139th of 281 women, faster than 51% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 81% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:48 quicker than the median and 54th of 281. A harder second half: 1:54 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Manchester ran slow: the 160 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 4:40 slower here than at their other races.
