The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:31:03 at Birmingham 2026 put Lucian Neculache 906th of 1,442 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 3:00 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 4:48 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
