The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:05:17 at Birmingham 2026 put Neil Townsend 626th of 646 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 6:46 behind the median. A harder second half: 9:35 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 10:47, behind 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
