The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:11:26 at Birmingham 2026 put Mark Metcalfe 107th of 646 men in the Open division, ahead of 83% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 69% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:27 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:46 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2024 were 7:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
