The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Lewis Swatridge crossed the line in 1:21:28: 290th of 646 men, faster than 55% of the field.
On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 1:02. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:00 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
