The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Corkin finished 250th of 882 men in the Open division at Riga 2026, in 1:19:17, faster than 72% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:28 quicker than the median and 205th of 882. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:54 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:12 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Riga 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 5:33 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
