The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:04:50 at Birmingham 2025 put Andrew Hipwell 1,751st of 1,821 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 6:55 behind the median. A harder second half: 5:46 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 9:42 in the roxzone was slower than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
