The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Chris Watson crossed the line in 1:22:12: 643rd of 1,600 men, faster than 60% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:20 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 6:08 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
