The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Andrew Wilmot finished 443rd of 882 men in the Open division at Riga 2026, in 1:28:16.
Legs and stations told different stories: 75% of the field beaten on the runs, 22% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:06 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Riga 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
