The race, in words
Stefan Bate finished 126th of 233 men in the Open division at Chicago 2022, in 1:35:00.
A station race more than a running one: 62% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. A harder second half: 1:47 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 5:09, behind 89% of the field.
Chicago ran slow: the 139 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:58 slower here than at their other races.
