The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Robin Simpson finished 115th of 137 men in the Pro division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:29:06.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:52 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 6:50 in the roxzone was slower than 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:10 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
