The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:42:29 at Birmingham 2026 put Kevin Pearson 578th of 677 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 32% of the field beaten on the runs, 8% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 5:44. The race faded late: the second half went 3:49 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
