The race, in three figures
The race, in words
David Willis finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2026, in 1:06:11 for 66th of 677 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:49 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:43 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
