The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Michael Bateson crossed the line in 1:10:29: 256th of 1,821 men, faster than 86% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:07 quicker than the median and 95th of 1,821. Stronger after halfway: 1:05 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Dublin 2024 were 1:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
