The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Phil Ellison won the 45–49 age group at Birmingham 2026 in 58:57, first of 76.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:03 quicker than the median and 19th of 693. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:42 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:20, ahead of 98% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
