The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:24:48 at Birmingham 2025 put Barry Murphy 1,580th of 1,600 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 8:39. The race faded late: the second half went 1:50 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 13:18 in the roxzone was slower than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
