The race, in words

A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:24 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:13 better against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Birmingham gained about 1:21. 0:16 slower than at Bangkok 2026, the previous Open race.
