The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Doubles Open division at London Olympia 2026, Chris Coyle & Peter Groves crossed the line in 1:12:57: 68th of 171 men's teams, faster than 60% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 70% of the field beaten on the runs, 44% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:46 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:04 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced London Olympia gained about 1:07.
