The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Jordan Bedward crossed the line in 1:13:21: 138th of 693 men, faster than 80% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:18 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:14 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:02, ahead of 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
