The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:52:44 at Birmingham 2026 put Ian Perkins 1,229th of 1,442 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 6:46 behind the median. A harder second half: 5:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 8:36, behind 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
