The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Mortimer finished 520th of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:34:55.
The stations carried this race: faster than 44% of the field across all eight, against 13% on the runs. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:44 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:08 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 2:10 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
