The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ian Patterson finished 302nd of 595 men in the Open division at Glasgow 2026, in 1:24:10.
Legs and stations told different stories: 67% of the field beaten on the runs, 34% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 4:50 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:12 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 2:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
