The race, in words

Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:43 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 1:04 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:19 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Birmingham gave the field time back: about 1:12 faster than the average race this season, by 2,261 athletes who raced both. 3:26 slower than at EMEA London Olympia 2026, the previous Open race.
