The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Buxton finished 1,663rd of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:52:29.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 5:27 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:37 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 9:21, behind 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
