The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rob Oliver finished 529th of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:35:42.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 2:05 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:10 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.
