The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Christopher Hall finished 978th of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:34:11.
Legs and stations told different stories: 45% of the field beaten on the runs, 16% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 5:15 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:42 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
