The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:20:42 at London 2024 put Thomas Birch 586th of 1,637 men in the Open division, ahead of 64% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:10 quicker than the median and 437th of 1,637. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 0:48 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:35 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both London 2024 and Birmingham 2022 were 2:47 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
