The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Garton finished 575th of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:19:53, faster than 64% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 80% of the field beaten on the runs, 50% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:34 quicker than the median and 558th of 1,600. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 0:43.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
