The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:14:54 at Manchester 2026 put David Blayney 143rd of 551 men in the Open division, ahead of 74% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 83% of the field beaten on the stations, against 59% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:48 ahead of the median. Quick through the roxzone: 3:51, ahead of 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
