The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Goodwin finished 1,588th of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 2:35:33.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 15:37 behind the median. A harder second half: 12:51 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 10:31 in the roxzone was slower than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
