The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:26:36 at Birmingham 2026 put Mark Lewis 768th of 1,442 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 58% of the field beaten on the runs, 28% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:28 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:57 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
