The race, in words
1:24:57 at Birmingham 2026 put Mathew Woodrow 718th of 1,442 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 56% of the field beaten on the stations, against 32% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:43 on the median. A harder second half: 2:40 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:29 faster at Birmingham 2026 than at London Olympia 2026, a quicker course than most.
