The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:40:42 at Manchester 2026 put Steven Bainbridge 429th of 551 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:22 behind the median. A harder second half: 11:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
