The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ross Bailey finished 277th of 523 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:26:45.
The runs carried this race: faster than 73% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 23% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:58 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:42 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Manchester 2022 were 7:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
