The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rob Alexander finished 989th of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:30:21.
A station race more than a running one: 49% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. The sled push was the standout, 0:36 quicker than the median and 392nd of 1,600. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:04 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
