The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Ward finished 61st of 137 men in the Pro division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:12:41, faster than 56% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 77% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 47% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:20. A harder second half: 1:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Rome 2025 were 1:10 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
