The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ash Armstrong finished 219th of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:10:21, faster than 85% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:11 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:48 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2024 were 7:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
