The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Darren Meikle finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2026, in 1:05:41 for 101st of 1,442 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:15 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:52 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:30, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
