The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nigel Bielby took 2nd of 34 in the 55–59 age group at Glasgow 2026, in 1:16:18.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 0:53 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:39 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:36, was faster than 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 2:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
