The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Smith took 3rd of 25 in the 45–49 age group at London Olympia 2026, in 1:13:17.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:41 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:32 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:48, was faster than 85% of the field.
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.
