The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Olympia 2026, Daniel Watkins crossed the line in 1:25:01: 98th of 219 men, faster than 55% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:44 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 0:48. A harder second half: 1:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
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.
