The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mike Waddington finished 446th of 595 men in the Open division at Glasgow 2026, in 1:36:08.
Legs and stations told different stories: 57% of the field beaten on the runs, 11% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 5:29. The race faded late: the second half went 7:34 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 2:25 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
