M25-29 · HALF MARATHON
I need to flag a data issue before writing this recap.
The finisher data contains an internal contradiction that makes it impossible to write an accurate recap: the athletes listed are all men (M25-29), but their split notes reference "fastest women's split" and "gender place" progressions labeled as women's standings. For example, Thomas Coyle is listed as holding "gender place 2→2→2→1" with the "fastest women's split on 10.9M→Finish" — but he is a 27-year-old man in the M25-29 group.
This appears to be a data labeling error (men's split/place data mislabeled as women's). If I were to write the recap using these notes as written, I would be stating falsehoods — e.g., that a male athlete posted the fastest women's split or held a top women's gender place.
To write an accurate recap, I'd need corrected data — specifically:
- The correct gender-place progressions (men's standings) for the movers
- The correct split-rank labels (men's or overall field, not women's)
In the meantime, I can write a recap using only the finish times, places, paces, and ages — omitting the contradictory split/move notes entirely. That would give you a solid narrative on the podium battle, the gaps, and the field of 323, without fabricating anything.
Shall I proceed on that basis, or would you prefer to send corrected split data first?
