The race, in words
Harry Bird took 3rd of 15 in the 25–29 age group at Manchester 2026, in 1:06:47.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:55 quicker than the median and 20th of 130. Stronger after halfway: 1:08 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 2:49 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
