The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Benjamin Leyland crossed the line in 1:14:26: 159th of 646 men, faster than 75% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 90% of the field across all eight, against 53% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:53 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:24 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Dublin 2025 were 2:17 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
