The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Darragh Hanley-Crofts crossed the line in 1:10:09: 245th of 1,821 men, faster than 87% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 96% of the field beaten on the runs, 72% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:03 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:59, was faster than 89% 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.
