The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Tomlinson finished 1,578th of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:45:56.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:51 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:52 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
