The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:10:55 at Birmingham 2026 put Dean Foster 100th of 693 men in the Open division, ahead of 86% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 93% of the field beaten on the stations, against 71% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:56 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:32 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
