The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:36:30 at Cardiff 2025 put Rory O'Brien 1,154th of 1,401 men in the Open division.
On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:28. A harder second half: 1:39 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 3:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
