The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:21:37 at London Excel 2025 put Mark Birks 1,236th of 2,771 men in the Open division, ahead of 55% of the field.
The farmers carry was the standout, 0:30 quicker than the median and 275th of 2,771. The wall balls cost the most time: 0:53 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:15 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
