The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:33:17 at Birmingham 2025 put Arthur Vickers 1,093rd of 1,600 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 53% of the field beaten on the runs, 21% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:33. The race faded late: the second half went 3:01 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Dublin 2024 were 1:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
