The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Adrian Cartlidge finished 408th of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:14:48, faster than 78% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:00 quicker than the median and 234th of 1,821. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 0:46 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:38 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
