The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Steven Mesham finished 1,177th of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:36:00.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:14. A harder second half: 1:04 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
