The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jonathan Rees finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2026, in 1:01:52 for 26th of 677 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 3:08 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:18 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:31, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
