The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:00 at Malaga 2026 put Bill Bird 744th of 1,036 men in the Open division.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:03 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 2:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
