The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Andrew Pinker finished 252nd of 359 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:31:02.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 0:43 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:58 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:46 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
