The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:45 at Riga 2026 put Bob Pope 657th of 882 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 75% of the field beaten on the runs, 4% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 7:59 slower than the median. A harder second half: 10:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Riga 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:22 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
