The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Aaron Wood finished 453rd of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:29:12.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:30. A harder second half: 1:46 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2023 were 6:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
