The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Dowell finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2026, in 1:08:15 for 59th of 693 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:27 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:32 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:57, was faster than 90% 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.
