The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Fergus O'Connor crossed the line in 1:08:51: 199th of 1,821 men, faster than 89% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:34 quicker than the median and 115th of 1,821. Stronger after halfway: 3:17 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:01, was faster than 88% 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.
