The race, in three figures
The race, in words
matthew Dandy finished 1,152nd of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:35:13.
The stations carried this race: faster than 48% of the field across all eight, against 17% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:20 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:27 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
