The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Luke Norton finished 430th of 646 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:30:45.
On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 2:09. A harder second half: 2:27 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.
