The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Brendan Murphy crossed the line in 1:18:07: 486th of 1,600 men, faster than 70% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 81% of the field across all eight, against 51% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:10 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:05 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and London 2024 were 3:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
