The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:14:38 at Birmingham 2025 put Abraham Thorpe 117th of 523 men in the Open division, ahead of 78% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 84% of the field beaten on the runs, 63% on the stations. A harder second half: 2:41 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:06, was faster than 90% 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.
