The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:52:16 at Birmingham 2025 put Mike Charles 1,461st of 1,600 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:34. A harder second half: 3:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 11:50, behind 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and London 2024 were 3:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
