The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Liam Shields finished 148th of 693 men in the Pro division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:07:18, faster than 79% of the field.
The sled pull was the standout, 1:09 quicker than the median and 71st of 693. A harder second half: 1:22 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:26, was faster than 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
