The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gary Gray finished 486th of 616 men in the Open division at Athens 2026, in 1:41:04.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:45 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Athens 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 2:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
