The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:38:45 at Birmingham 2025 put Tai Kelly-Evans 1,250th of 1,600 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 90% of the field beaten on the runs, 5% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 9:55 behind the median. A harder second half: 6:15 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.
