The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2021, David Sobers crossed the line in 1:21:35: 50th of 178 men, faster than 72% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 84% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 53% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:49 on the median. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:43.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2021 and London 2021 were 1:16 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
