The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ethan Smith won the 30–34 age group at Birmingham 2026 in 55:52, first of 98.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 3:20 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:34 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:12, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Barcelona 2026 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
