The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lee Samwell won the 50–54 age group at London 2022 in 1:11:26, first of 48.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:12 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:08 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:40, was faster than 88% 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.
