The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Alex Cottam crossed the line in 1:12:25: 122nd of 693 men, faster than 82% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:14 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:54 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 5:00, ahead of 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Geneva 2026 were 2:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
