The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Shoard finished 1,619th of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:49:11.
The wall balls cost the most time: 4:34 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:17 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
