The race, in words
1:13:21 at Birmingham 2025 put Chris Matthews 285th of 1,600 men in the Open division, ahead of 82% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:36 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:39 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:12, 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.
