The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Syed Hoque crossed the line in 1:19:27: 254th of 646 men, faster than 61% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:55 quicker than the median and 193rd of 646. A harder second half: 2:37 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Barcelona 2026 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
