The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Michael Hilton crossed the line in 1:14:01: 317th of 1,600 men, faster than 80% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:25 ahead of the median. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 0:43. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:41 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
