The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alastair Murray took 3rd of 52 in the 50–54 age group at Birmingham 2026, in 1:09:23.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:08 quicker than the median and 95th of 677. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:39 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
