The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Adam Rooke finished 273rd of 476 men in the Open division at Manchester 2022, in 1:29:35.
Legs and stations told different stories: 58% of the field beaten on the runs, 24% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 3:12. A harder second half: 1:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2022 and Birmingham 2021 were 4:26 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
