The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Luke Lovesey finished 662nd of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 2:01:27.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 5:09 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 6:18 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 9:35 in the roxzone was slower than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Rome 2025 were 3:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
