The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Brickman finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2026, in 1:01:27 for 41st of 1,442 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:11 quicker than the median and 37th of 1,442. Stronger after halfway: 1:38 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:34, ahead of 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
