The race, in three figures
The race, in words
56:56 at Birmingham 2025 put Matthew Plowman on the age-group podium: 2nd of 376 in the 30–34 age group.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 3:29 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:42 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:14, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
