The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Beachell finished 775th of 1,182 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:35:02.
Legs and stations told different stories: 47% of the field beaten on the runs, 24% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 2:37 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:48 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Glasgow 2023 were 1:46 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
