The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Parker finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2025, in 1:05:02 for 86th of 1,821 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:25 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:16 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:44, was faster than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Manchester 2025 were 3:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
