The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matt Bloor finished 424th of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:28:20.
The sled pull cost the most time: 1:01 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:45 better against the middle of the field than before it. 9:03 in the roxzone was slower than 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
