The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Billy Baxter finished 1,338th of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:43:49.
Legs and stations told different stories: 31% of the field beaten on the runs, 10% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:58 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:15 better 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.
