The race, in three figures
The race, in words
james watson finished 497th of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:33:32.
The wall balls cost the most time: 1:46 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:33 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
