The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Daniel Smith crossed the line in 1:20:54: 739th of 1,821 men, faster than 59% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:27 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 0:31 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:56 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.
