The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:21:45 at Birmingham 2026 put Ben Price 318th of 693 men in the Open division, ahead of 54% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 75% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 40% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:39 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:46 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
