The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Blair McWatt finished 556th of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:17:40, faster than 70% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 81% of the field beaten on the runs, 54% on the stations. The wall balls were the standout, 0:40 quicker than the median and 677th of 1,821. Stronger after halfway: 1:32 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.
