The race, in words

A station race more than a running one: 84% of the field beaten on the stations, against 49% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:55 on the median. A harder second half: 2:10 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Birmingham gave the field time back: about 1:31 faster than the average race this season, by 2,085 teams who raced both.
