The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Birmingham 2025, Paul Shrives crossed the line in 1:13:09: 77th of 156 men, faster than 51% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 65% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 43% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:36. The race faded late: the second half went 1:09 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 2:32 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
