The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:24:29 at Birmingham 2026 put Paul Clowes 708th of 1,442 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:53 on the median. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 0:34. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:40 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
