The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Brennan finished 1,022nd of 1,182 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2023, in 1:49:14.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 3% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 0:45 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:00 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Birmingham ran slow: the 823 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:37 slower here than at their other races.
