The race, in three figures
The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Kai Taylor at Birmingham 2026: 1:07:29, 54th of 646 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:00 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:07 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:02, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
