The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Dennison finished 1,053rd of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:27:48.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:17 quicker than the median and 477th of 1,821. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:34 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:00 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 3:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
