The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Joshua Thornton crossed the line in 1:21:12: 611th of 1,600 men, faster than 62% of the field.
The sled pull was the standout, 0:35 quicker than the median and 478th of 1,600. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:34 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:02 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and London 2024 were 3:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
