The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Jenkinson took 2nd of 45 in the 55–59 age group at Birmingham 2026, in 1:08:52.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:04 quicker than the median and 47th of 1,442. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:47 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:53, was faster than 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
