The race, in three figures
The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Samuel Wilson at Birmingham 2026: 1:00:28, 16th of 677 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:05 quicker than the median and 20th of 677. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:22 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:29, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
