The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Keith Chaney finished 493rd of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:16:38, faster than 73% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 87% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 54% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:35. A harder second half: 1:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
