The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:34:15 at Birmingham 2026 put Stephen Ovenden 513th of 677 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 44% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 15% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 3:11. Stronger after halfway: 2:21 better against the middle of the field 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.
