The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Hudson finished 1,627th of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:49:41.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 4:47. A harder second half: 3:21 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.
