The race, in words
Stephen Spencer-Chapman finished 270th of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:12:57, faster than 83% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:48 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:13 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:13, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
