The race, in three figures
The race, in words
59:16 at Birmingham 2026 won the 40–44 age group for Andrew Langley, first of 107.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:04 quicker than the median and 18th of 693. Stronger after halfway: 1:41 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:34, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:20 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
