The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Kevin Sharkey finished 169th of 646 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:14:53, faster than 74% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:29 quicker than the median and 116th of 646. The wall balls cost the most time: 0:57 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
