The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gavin Lyons finished 504th of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:18:42, faster than 65% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 79% of the field across all eight, against 45% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:59 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:37 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
