The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Andrew Stafford finished 407th of 693 men in the Pro division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:19:28.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:53 quicker than the median and 141st of 693. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:42 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
