The race, in three figures
The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Ryan Roberts at Birmingham 2026: 1:07:24, 53rd of 646 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:33 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:42 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:19, was faster than 99% 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.
