The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matt Griffiths finished 140th of 1,158 men in the Open division at Barcelona 2026, in 1:09:04, faster than 88% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:20 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:14 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:41, was faster than 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 2:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
