The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Shane Blakeley finished 409th of 693 men in the Pro division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:19:30.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:37 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:42 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.
