The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Paul Carrington crossed the line in 1:19:41: 560th of 1,600 men, faster than 65% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:03 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:51 behind the median. Quick through the roxzone: 5:12, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
