The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nat Couldwell finished 257th of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:11:45, faster than 82% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:41 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:50 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:02, was faster than 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 2:10 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
