The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mike Tinson finished 341st of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:23:23.
Legs and stations told different stories: 60% of the field beaten on the runs, 37% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:35. A harder second half: 1:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
