The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Liam Gaskell at Birmingham 2026: 1:05:34, 95th of 1,442 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:34 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:41 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:34, was faster than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
