The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:18:57 at Copenhagen 2025 put Matt Botham 519th of 1,323 men in the Open division, ahead of 61% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 73% of the field beaten on the runs, 47% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 0:41 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:17 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Copenhagen 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 6:04 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
