The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gaz Jones finished 508th of 693 men in the Pro division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:26:00.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 2:24 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
