The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jonathan Guest finished 411th of 646 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:29:11.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:25 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:27 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.
