The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:37:57 at Birmingham 2026 put Carl Cresswell 293rd of 359 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 37% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 11% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:08 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:53 better 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.
