The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Robinson finished 599th of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:21:18, faster than 59% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 70% of the field beaten on the runs, 43% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 1:04 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
