The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Gooch finished 501st of 716 men in the Open division at London Olympia 2026, in 1:32:12.
If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 2:19 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:21 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 4:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
