The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Martyn Driscoll finished 226th of 359 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:27:43.
The runs carried this race: faster than 83% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 10% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 9:37 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 9:07 worse 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.
