The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Simpkins finished in the top 10% of the field at London 2022, in 1:11:03 for 68th of 865 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 97% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 76% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:46 ahead of the median. Time in the roxzone, 5:23, was faster than 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London 2022 and Birmingham 2022 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
