The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nikhil Patel finished 663rd of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:23:30, faster than 54% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:53 ahead of the median. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:13 slower than the median. A harder second half: 2:09 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
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.
