The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:26:24 at Birmingham 2026 put Matthew Crosse 757th of 1,442 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 52% of the field beaten on the stations, against 31% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:51 quicker than the median and 397th of 1,442. The race faded late: the second half went 1:57 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
