The race, in words

A station race more than a running one: 87% of the field beaten on the stations, against 44% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:00 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 2:59 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Toronto ran slow: the 426 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:53 slower here than at their other races.
