The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark jackson took 2nd of 13 in the 55–59 age group at Birmingham 2025, in 1:13:52.
Legs and stations told different stories: 90% of the field beaten on the runs, 63% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:31 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:19 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
