The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Briggs finished 559th of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:19:39, faster than 65% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 78% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 49% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:13. 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 Valencia 2025 were 3:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
