The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Glasgow 2026, Emma Sykes crossed the line in 1:32:54: 146th of 324 women, faster than 55% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 73% of the field beaten on the runs, 41% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:02 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:12 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Dublin 2024 were 4:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
