The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Pickford finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2025, in 1:07:09 for 145th of 1,821 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:11 quicker than the median and 38th of 1,821. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:29 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Manchester 2024 were 3:26 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
