The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Tom Baines crossed the line in 1:17:39: 555th of 1,821 men, faster than 70% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 57% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:41 quicker than the median and 326th of 1,821. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:41 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Manchester 2025 were 3:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
