The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:59 at Birmingham 2026 put Daniel Compton 416th of 693 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 61% of the field beaten on the runs, 24% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 4:43 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:34 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
