The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:18:56 at Birmingham 2026 put Mike Ellis 249th of 646 men in the Open division, ahead of 62% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:41 ahead of the median. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:23 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:32 worse 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.
