The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2023, Richard Hankey crossed the line in 1:27:12: 568th of 1,182 men, faster than 52% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:06 quicker than the median and 322nd of 1,182. Stronger after halfway: 1:44 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Birmingham 2022 were 1:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
