The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:29:11 at Birmingham 2026 put Ben O'Connor 410th of 646 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 0:51 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:07 better 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.
