The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Barcelona 2026, Nathan Smith crossed the line in 1:20:56: 260th of 643 men, faster than 60% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:56 quicker than the median and 110th of 643. Stronger after halfway: 1:58 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:07 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
