The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:31:51 at Birmingham 2026 put James Bowie 488th of 677 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:53 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:41 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
