The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Vallely finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2026, in 1:00:39 for 29th of 1,442 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 3:25 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:22 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:39, was faster than 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Poznan 2025 were 1:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
