The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Jonathan Murphy crossed the line in 1:10:25: 95th of 646 men, faster than 85% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:59 quicker than the median and 22nd of 646. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:31 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Rome 2026 were 3:12 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
