The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Sean Bushell crossed the line in 1:21:07: 607th of 1,600 men, faster than 62% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:18 ahead of the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:11. A harder second half: 3:57 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
