The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Dan Waite finished 298th of 359 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:38:55.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:55 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:27 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 8:59 in the roxzone was slower than 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
