The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Joe Watt crossed the line in 1:13:15: 140th of 646 men, faster than 78% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:56 quicker than the median and 99th of 646. A harder second half: 1:23 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
