The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Matt Myerscough crossed the line in 1:09:43: 67th of 359 men, faster than 81% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:01 quicker than the median and 46th of 359. Stronger after halfway: 1:45 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:32, ahead of 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
