The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:08:46 at Birmingham 2026 put Steve Gill on the age-group podium: 3rd of 76 in the 45–49 age group.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:30 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:29 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:51, ahead of 91% 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.
