The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:45:46 at Manchester 2026 put Paul Myers 1,273rd of 1,463 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 5:49. A harder second half: 5:38 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.
