The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Taylor finished 541st of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:17:27, faster than 70% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:04 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:41 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.
