The race, in words

If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 5:26 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:31 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 10:40, behind 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Manchester 2025 were 3:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
