The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rob Skepper finished 115th of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:12:04, faster than 83% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:46 quicker than the median and 27th of 693. Stronger after halfway: 3:35 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:53, ahead of 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
