The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Luke Bedwell finished 362nd of 523 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:34:42.
The runs carried this race: faster than 45% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 22% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:50 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:43 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
