The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Flavell finished 559th of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:20:24, faster than 61% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 68% of the field across all eight, against 47% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:59 quicker than the median and 111th of 1,442. The race faded late: the second half went 1:13 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
