The race, in three figures
The race, in words
James Hill finished 974th of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:26:18.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:59 quicker than the median and 460th of 1,821. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:26 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:32 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Manchester 2025 were 3:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
