The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, David Gibson crossed the line in 1:17:29: 542nd of 1,821 men, faster than 70% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:08 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:21 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.
