The race, in three figures
The race, in words
59:24 at Birmingham 2026 put Tom Stirrup on the age-group podium: 2nd of 283 in the 30–34 age group.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:45 quicker than the median and 3rd of 1,442. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:27 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:07, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
