The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Phil Hions finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2026, in 1:02:34 for 29th of 677 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 3:08 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:52 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:41, was faster than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
