The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:05:02 at Birmingham 2026 put Richard Young 669th of 693 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 5:24. A harder second half: 7:47 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 9:56 in the roxzone was slower than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
