The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:16:25 at Birmingham 2026 put Gavin Darmanin 423rd of 1,442 men in the Open division, ahead of 71% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 85% of the field beaten on the stations, against 46% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:33 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 8:06 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Rome 2026 were 3:12 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
