The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:28:56 at Birmingham 2026 put Richard Mercer 450th of 677 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 52% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. The sled push was the standout, 0:33 quicker than the median and 118th of 677. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:54 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Dublin 2025 were 2:17 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
