The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:02:07 at Istanbul 2026 put James McGuinness on the age-group podium: 3rd of 95 in the 16–24 age group.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:42 quicker than the median and 22nd of 743. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:01 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:08, was faster than 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 3:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
