The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Brian Swift finished 623rd of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:49:43.
The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 5:17 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:12 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 11:13, behind 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Barcelona 2026 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
