The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Iain McGowan finished 380th of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:15:21, faster than 76% of the field.
The sled pull was the standout, 1:21 quicker than the median and 101st of 1,600. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:33 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.
