The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Strutt finished 432nd of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:28:42.
The runs carried this race: faster than 49% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 25% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 4:40 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:27 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
