The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Stuart Nichols finished 136th of 549 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:14:35, faster than 75% of the field.
The sled push was the standout, 1:11 quicker than the median and 10th of 549. The race faded late: the second half went 2:14 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:46, was faster than 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 5:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
