The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:23:30 at Birmingham 2026 put Dan Bickford 662nd of 1,442 men in the Open division, ahead of 54% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 72% of the field beaten on the runs, 36% on the stations. The sled pull cost the most time: 1:16 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:47 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
