The race, in three figures
The race, in words
S Philip Todd finished 417th of 646 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:29:26.
The runs carried this race: faster than 64% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 19% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 5:04 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:46 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
