The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alasdair Watling finished 649th of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:56:55.
The wall balls cost the most time: 3:17 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:24 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 9:17 in the roxzone was slower than 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
