The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Wells finished 790th of 960 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2022, in 1:41:57.
A station race more than a running one: 37% of the field beaten on the stations, against 12% on the runs. A harder second half: 1:57 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 10:41 in the roxzone was slower than 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2022 and Manchester 2022 were 4:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
