The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, David Standing crossed the line in 1:08:27: 95th of 677 men, faster than 86% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:35 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:41 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:55, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Geneva 2026 were 2:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
