The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Birmingham 2026, Thomas Vivian crossed the line in 1:14:31: 308th of 693 men, faster than 56% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 66% of the field beaten on the stations, against 39% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:04 on the median. A harder second half: 1:17 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
