The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:37:24 at Cardiff 2026 put Daniel Rowlson 398th of 528 men in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 40% of the field across all eight, against 16% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 0:50 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
