The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Samuel Gregory finished 134th of 523 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:15:33, faster than 74% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 83% of the field beaten on the runs, 61% on the stations. The race faded late: the second half went 2:38 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:22, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and London 2023 were 3:41 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
