The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, John Trindle crossed the line in 1:15:38: 181st of 646 men, faster than 72% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:08 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 0:39 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:04 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
