The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Pitman finished 370th of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:25:00.
The stations carried this race: faster than 62% of the field across all eight, against 27% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:41 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:56 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Dublin 2025 were 2:17 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
