The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Haynes finished 396th of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:26:19.
The stations carried this race: faster than 52% of the field across all eight, against 30% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:15 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:53 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Rome 2026 were 3:12 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
