The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sam Chadwick finished 608th of 643 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:55:21.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:24. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:17 better against the middle of the field than the first. 9:36 in the roxzone was slower than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:07 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
