The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:41:35 at Birmingham 2026 put Chris Lydall 579th of 693 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:06. A harder second half: 4:14 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
