The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Daniel Smith finished 1,546th of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 2:06:22.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 7:33 behind the median. A harder second half: 13:46 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 13:35, behind 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Birmingham 2023 were 6:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
