The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ryan Drysdale finished 207th of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:16:42, faster than 70% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 85% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 51% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:51 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:11 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
