The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Shazad Ahmed finished 641st of 646 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 2:34:29.
The wall balls cost the most time: 15:31 slower than the median. A harder second half: 5:51 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 12:09 in the roxzone was slower than 99% 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.
