The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:59 at Cardiff 2026 put Valts Grinbergs 403rd of 533 men in the Pro division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 46% of the field beaten on the runs, 18% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:57 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:55 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 2:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
