The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:46:56 at Birmingham 2025 put Rich McGonagle 1,591st of 1,821 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 27% of the field beaten on the runs, 7% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 7:39 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:52 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
