The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:10:46 at Birmingham 2026 put Chris Murphy 130th of 677 men in the Open division, ahead of 81% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:16 quicker than the median and 140th of 677. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:20 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
