The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paul Hopwood finished 185th of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:13:58, faster than 73% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:05 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:18 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Tenerife 2026 were 8:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
