The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:05:36 at Birmingham 2026 put Ken Burvill 1,290th of 1,442 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 14:45 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 10:33 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 8:38 in the roxzone was slower than 86% 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.
