The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:48:49 at Tenerife 2026 put Simon Sykes 577th of 673 men in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 32% of the field across all eight, against 7% on the runs. The wall balls cost the most time: 3:12 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 7:14 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Tenerife 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 4:22 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
