The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ian Payne finished 821st of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:28:16.
Legs and stations told different stories: 51% of the field beaten on the runs, 29% on the stations. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:42 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
