The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Watson finished 172nd of 206 men in the Pro division at Glasgow 2026, in 1:26:49.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:30 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:35 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Rome 2025 were 1:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
