The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:20:23 at Glasgow 2026 put Bruce Nicolson on the age-group podium: 3rd of 23 in the 55–59 age group.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 45% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:51 quicker than the median and 175th of 595. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:15 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Rome 2025 were 1:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
