The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:01:46 at Birmingham 2025 put Tony Farley 1,527th of 1,600 men in the Open division.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 8:53. A harder second half: 7:16 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.
