The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:21:08 at Birmingham 2026 put Alexander Folkes 437th of 693 men in the Pro division.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:24. 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.
